~I don't know....but this was sure fun!!!
I'm laying in bed after reading a sweet email from Suze. She can make my day. And it's about using the UTEE in my blog.
Well, this idea pops into my head. Bill is asleep, Emma is asleep (she had a crying jag to go to daycare and agreed if she could have a sleepover at Nana's).
Whatchagonnado?
So anyway, I thought, let's emboss some paper, rub the embossing ink over the raised part, and add some UTEE!!! Now, you're going to get a wonderful blotchy effect because the UTEE is bigger pieces of powder, and that's what makes this soooooo cool!!! Had to get up and try it, it was only 11:30PM.
Use 2 colors and add bits into each other to make great contrasting colors show up. Ink again, and drop bits of the UTEE into the mix as you heat. Then add your Distress Inks. I used Rusty Hinge, Marmalade, Vintage Photo (sparingly) and Victorian Velvet last for punch.
The UTEE colors are Green Zinnia and Spruce Green. And they are BRIGHT....hence the name. They REALLY rock together. I LOVE the Rustic-Grunge look to this!
The Spruce is what is on the hand of the clock from last post. It turned a gorgeous blue-green on the metal.... I loved it. I already had the Bingo piece done with Glossy Accents.
Take a black ATC, add some Tissue Tape, it looks great on the black, has an opaque color. And add one of Tim's great vintage shots from Lost and Found papers. These papers are the COOLEST papers EVVA! No picking and choosing, trying to decide, the whole pack is OUTSTANDING. An absolute must in my book.
Layer it up, add pieces of Idea-ology if you like, and it's done!
So, enjoy the rest of the weekend, and CREATE ART!
