WOYWW

Well it has been awhile since I posted on WOYWW !!  

 This is my desk right now.....playing with some alcohol inks...with rubbing alcohol and my stencil.   


and for those wondering - yes that is a bottle of gin on the left side LOL.  It is a gift for someone....not for me while I am crafting ( that comes after heheheee)
to the front here is a quilt I brought up from the crawl space - my sister made it for me years ago ...just had to do a couple of minor fixes and ready to use again.

 Then here is a closer look at what I was doing with the inks ...


So come check out some other guests over at Stamping Ground sharing their desks today...

 and thanks for popping by....

 now ,,,,for a taste of that gin....

    Hi Darlene, love the stencil! The gin made me smile, I have a bottle in my craft room- a tip from a friend, who makes her own colour sprays using Distress refills and gin. It evaporates really quickly, so no waiting for stuff to dry. I've heard vodka works the same too. I admit to being a fellow G&T drinker :). Have a lovely week, Love & Hugs, Shaz #7 XxX

    I love that Donna stencil, I use it quite a lot. G&T is my tipple too, with lots of ice and a slice of lime... got me wanting some now, and I am out of tonic.. and lime! Happy WOYWW Helen #2

    Love the stencils. I've dug mine out and have been using them with embossing powder and distress inks. I've been having a lot of fun making backgrounds.

    Happy WOYWW anniversary

    Hi Darlene, Happy 8th WOYWW anniversary! We are so lucky to be part of such a friendly and caring community as WOYWW and may it continue indefinitely too! The stencil is lovely and as you said you were using rubbing alcohol I just sort of assumed that you were using the contents of the gin bottle - silly me! Your finished piece is lovely. Looks like you will be sending me an ATC so I'll email you with my address soon. Have a lovely week. Elizabeth x #45/46

    Yeah, we believe that the gin is a present for someone, lolol!!! I was rather impressed, most people have tea or coffee :-D I have no idea what rubbing alcohol is or what it's used for (not a paper crafter you see) but you seem to be having a good time!
    Happy 8th anniversary,
    Hugs, LLJ 9 xxx

    I don't think I ever would have thought to use stencils with AI's because the drying so fast so this was a very fun post for me to come across this afternoon :) ~Stacy #42

    Although I couldn't see the front, I did appreciate the beauty and sewing of that quilt. It's great that you have brought it back out to use.

    I find AIs are very expensive, so I make faux AIs using Staz-on reinkers and rubbing alcohol. I don't have many stencils, but I sure love yours. That's a really clever idea using those awesome stencils.

    Sorry I'm late in visiting. I had a commitment today, so had to be away from the computer. Happy 8th Anniversary from # 1.

    I hope your friend liked the bottle of gin and I can't believe Lindarw has already tried transfer printing with Gin. Amazing what techniques people will try. Have a lovely week,
