Hallo Everyone!

Hope you've had a good month

and achieved most, if not all,

you have set out to do.

Don't worry if you haven't -

there's always next month.....

Here is Angela Radford with

the final instalment in our

chapter of alcoholic delights:

 "Hi all. I've been having some fun playing 

with Distress Oxides, together with

Surgical Spirit and  Hand Sanitizing Gel 

both of which contain Alcohol.

I have used these with a variety of different 

papers and card and got some interesting results.

Normally I have used the Distress Oxides with water

 which reacts nicely but with the Surgical Spirit 

the effect is quite different and I'm happy to say

 that the inks move around in interesting ways. 

This was on a very smooth stamping card. 

I used a dropper to apply the surgical spirit to the paper.

It's also interesting to see how different the effect

 is on different papers. 

This one was slightly more glossy. 

On this sample I sprayed the surgical spirit 

onto the paper.

 This test was done on Velum, love it. 

Again, sprayed the surgical spirit though I also 

tilted parts of the velum to encourage some 

movement of the liquid.

Here you can see the effect of stamping with 

the Hand Sanitizer.

It reacts with the ink really quickly.

And a close-up. 

Will definitely be playing with this technique again.

Tried this on Yupo too by spraying. 

I would advise sealing all of these when dry. 

Although the colour didn't move when dry,

 it will be effected by water if reactivated.

But of course you will want to see what 

I've done with some of these. 

So I took some card blanks and 

started with some stamping.

Then some stamping on one of the sample 

pieces which I cut out.

 For the stamping I used some PaperArtsy stamps 

available at The Craft Barn.

 I cut out and attached a section of the Velum

 for this card and then stamped over it 

and heat embossed the image.

More stamping then added some of the cut out

 circles, sentiment and Gems. 

The little dots around the edge were done 

with a black pen.

Here you can see the full card.

Couldn't resist making another.

 I used a different sample for this one.

And the full card. 

Hope you enjoyed watching me play

 as much as I enjoyed doing it. 

Happy crafting, Angela xXx"
