Alcohol Ink

I have just finished a quick card for a friend of ours using one of the techniques I learnt at Ranger U, I have to say it is one of my favs as it is yet another technique you can do using the Alcohol inks but instead of using them with your applicator you watercolour with them - I know how cool is that and yes we will be teaching these techniques in our up and coming workshops so make sure you keep checking the website as as all the info will be put on there soon!

Off to Ranger 1 week today

OK, so I am trying, in fact really trying to curb my excitement as it is only 1 week today before Sheena and I adorn a plane to New Jersey to go to Ranger University! Yes my stomach is doing somersaults already!! Now, as many of you who know me already know, I am a huge fan of ranger products, especially the alcohol inks and there are not many crafting tools in my possession that do not get altered one way or the otherHere is a small picture of my heat tool just to prove a point!

So last night Kiehsa and I spent some quality crafting time together and made one of Ranger's Projects, a memory glass Tea light holder, I loved it the first time I saw it and really wanted to give it a go but as with everything it is always time permitting, so last night was that time and as always when I look at a project another variation pops into my head and so of course I had to make that too! (well it would be rude not to wouldn't it!?)

Also congratulations to Sally, our latest Demonstrator cannot wait to hear about your parties and see your projects etc.... and no doubt we will hear from Sheena all about your training.

Projects at Make It

Ohhhh it's good to be home! Although it has to be said Make It was full of lovely people. It was great to get the time to talk to so many of you and share tips, hints and particraft knowledge! Thank you to those of you who have emailed us, it was great to come back to such a positive warm response. I thought I would share a couple of projects with you, I made these during Make it and it would appear you just could not get enough of the Radiant Rain, but I have to say I also loved this combination
I also really enjoyed playing with alcohol inks (but then again when don't I!) The combination of Alcohol inks and Fancy pants stamps had many of you creating your very own wish lists during the show! Don't forget if you would like to place an order with us you can create your wish list by clicking here, your order will then be passed onto a PartiCraft Demonstrator


Not being content with just making cards with my Alcohol Inks I whipped up an A4 Scrapbook page using the left over pieces
One of things I really enjoyed doing this weekend was comparisons between Products, I made some quick teddy cards the following one is painted with distress inks, there is such a spectrum of colours with the distress inks that I love using them for Watercolouring techniques

This next one has been painted using the Cosmic Shimmer Pigments I love the Circus Brights Set as it has some great strong colours

Sheena and I will be busy again training our new demonstrators but in the mean time we will also be getting started on some new projects. We have some fab new ideas that I cannot wait to get started :)
