Hello Everyone!
Today's WT371 "Get Inky with Re-inkers" Ways to Use It challenge asks us to use our re-inkers. I desided to create a mixed media canvas for a change because I also need to create a project for a Helmar/Buttons Galore post tomorrow (so you are getting a pre post peak).
I first tore pieces of old book and used a sponge and re-inker to distress around each piece. Then they were decoupaged to the 8"x8" canvas. I then used assorted colors of re-inkers to drip down the "sky" and grass. I then added, the stamped and colored image, sentiment, and embellishments, before giving the entire piece another coat of decoupage to seal it all in.
Thanks for the fun challenge cathymac!
I would love to hear what you all think about my canvas!
Hugs,
True

So sweet! I love all the buttons, especially the green ones! This is a great scene you created. I love seeing all the different ways people are using reinkers.

You've put so much work into this- it's a real work of art! I would never have the patience to sponge each piece of paper for the background but you made it look great. I especially like the paint-drip effect for the sky and grass- very inspiring!
