Drunken Chalks

Drunken Chalks

Hi Everyone!

Glad you could stop by.

Today we have Hazel Harler

with us.  She is going to

demonstrate her take on

the topic, so sit back and

enjoy..........

"For my latest project I've been playing 

with the Drunken Chalk technique.

 For my first card I used Versa Magic

 chalk inks and glossy card. 

I coloured the card with the ink pads 

directly onto the card,

The card was then sprayed with surgical spirit.

When the spirit had dried I covered 

the card with Encore metallic ink.

I sprayed the card with the spirit and the 

metal in the Encore ink separated from 

the rest of the ink 

The card was stamped with Paperartsy stamps

 and Archival ink.

-oOo-

For my second card I sponged Distress Oxide 

onto the glossy card.

I used a pipette to drip the 

surgical spirit onto the card.

I cut the card in half and covered one half 

with Encore metalic ink and 

dripped the spirit with the pipette. 

I loved the effect it made.

To finish the card I used Kaisercraft papers, 

Woodware stamps, black archival and I coloured 

the image with indian ink markers:

I decided to make a Christmas card for my 

next sample. 

I coloured the glossy card with three 

different blue Distress Oxide inks.

 I covered the card with Encore metalic ink.

This is the result after dripping 

surgical spirit onto the card. 

It's a good idea to spray the finished 

background with an acrylic sealer as

 the metal ink will rub of on 

everything that touches it.

 I used a Woodware stamp on the card 

and heat embossed it. 

The image was matted onto red and 

blue card and I trimmed it with some ribbon.

 For my last sample I scribbled some

 Distress Oxide onto glossy card using 

the corner of the inkpads.

 Then sprayed it with surgical spirit.

 I covered one half of the card with the metallic ink 

and dripped some surgical spirit onto it.

I stamped the background with a Woodware stamp

 and coloured it with Indian ink markers."
