Today's creation has been a wonderful project to work on and has taken me a lonnnng time :) I want to give credit to the two wonderful ladies at Lovin' Ink Janet and Michelle. They made this project at a workshop at Samuel Taylors, Embsay Mills and as I was actually working on the day doing demonstrations they kindly gave me the pieces of card, acetate and ribbon etc. that were needed to make the project and emailed me the instructions, so thank you Janet and Michelle.
I purposely saved this project to do whilst I am recovering from my op and have spent weeks putting together all the different stamps, ink pads, alcohol inks etc. The object of the project was to use different surfaces to stamp onto and create backgrounds with alcohol inks. I have had so much fun creating each tag and trying out different techniques. I had never played with alcohol inks until now and I have fallen in love with them.
So here is the finished tag book!
I haven't photographed every page and each tag is double-sided. There are others on acetate which didn't show too well on the photos. I am thrilled with the completed book and now need to make a fancy box to keep it in :)
Hope you like it and if you want to see more of Janet and Michelle's workshop details pop over to Lovin' Ink
Have a great day, Love Dawn x
