CAS Mix Up August Challenge: Paper Towel Transfer

I have been a fan of Loll's Paper Towel Transfer Technique 

and was so happy when she made a Video of the Technique.  I finally had 

good luck following her tips:-)

Be sure and check out the creative cards by the DT and the GD Betty (created by bjk)

over at the CAS Mix UP Challenge.

I began by using a paper towel that was saturated with yellow Distress Oxides that I

used multiple times to wipe up excess inks from my glass mat.

 Again,  I used Loll's video for my technique.

I placed saturated paper towel over Strathmore Bristol paper and sprayed with water. 

Next pressed with my fingers over wet paper towel to transfer inks.

It is so cool how the pattern from the paper towel shows up on the background.

Then I die cut the background when dry using my new Penny Black "Leaf

Stitched Frames" die.  Then placed in MISTI and covered

Magenta "Large Daisy" stamp with Distress Oxide "Carved Pumpkin" and

spritzed with water for a watercolor look.  I stamped a 2nd time for good coverage.

Set background aside to dry and stamped and heat embossed Pinefeather Press

"Ways to Say Thinking of You" sentiment.

Attached a Bristol paper layer that I had die cut with the frame die

and popped up the main image with White Craft Foam and Done!

Thank you Loll for your wonderful challenge and video:-)

You have until the 24th to play in this fun challenge.  Hugs..

Alcohol Ink Lift + Stamping + Die Cut

I was happy to find this beautiful Alcohol Ink background in my stash.

I used Rangers: Sunshine Yellow, Sunset Orange, Raspberry and Wild Plum inks.

Dropping inks onto Yupo paper and using Blending Solution to move the inks.

I die cut my piece with a SU Square die cut.

Placed in MISTI and inked Magenta C0705N Leaves with Alcohol Ink Lift.

Then stamped image in MISTI.  Let air dry and buffed with paper towel.

Repeated process 2 or 3 more times drying and buffing each time.

Loved how the paper towel lifted off the color from the leaf for a beautiful image.

Then stamped SSS sentiment in MISTI with Versafine black ink 

and heat embossed with SU Clear EB powder.

Popped up image and sentiment with White Craft foam

attaching with gina k Connect Glue and attached to Gemund Woodland 110# CS.
