I used the TH alcohol inks, but now will set off to try MaggieC's technique (well, she's the one who sent ME the technique instructions!)using the DI reinkers. Duh, never thought about that. Good luck with the catarract surgery. I still have to schedule my 2nd one, but trying to get the DH back on track. Loved your flowers too. Your autumn is coming, and we're still looking for Spring to finally arrive and stay. Think we changed from Winter to summer all in one day!

It's coming back to me in bits and pieces, but I don't believe I've ever heard about using all these ideas at the same time. The plastic wrap is really the frosting on the cake. I shall have to try this soon! So sorry to hear about Maggie's husband. I lost my husband 13 years ago to suicide; hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. Becoming a widow is definetly survivable, but no fun what so ever.

I also tried brayering on it, which does not work so well, :) I also tried heat embossing on it, bad idea! The surface burns & bubbles up. I do use the Isopropyl alcohol myself, I got it online via ebay. I find the 'real' blending solution horribly expensive, and if you read the label, it is just Isopropyl alcohol. I shall try the embossing with a folder, I love that look. Have a lovely week, Shaz xx.
