Rubber Dance challenge for June

I was thrilled to be  DT's  pick for the April color challenge
at Rubber Dance. It brought me a pleasure to be a GDT
at their June color challenge. And it is such a fab palette:


I also got a whole plate (YAY!!) new stamps,
so of course I wanted to use them: Weed Love


I used alcohol inks on Yupo paper and
embossing powder on vellum.

It's so cool to see how alcohol inks make there way on the paper,
and love the see through effect that vellum gives.

I'd like to enter to some challenges:
Simon Says Monday - We are going around in Circles
Sweet Stamping - use your stash (alcohol inks)
Fussy and Fancy - Flowers
Time Out - "Flower and Friends make life a garden" (Flowers)


Fragile world, MOO's

Weather has been so strange this year ....
so I think the idea for these MOO's is
coming from those thoughts.

Execution is in a Dream in Darkness style, :=)


These are the first MOO's I have made and I "cheated" a bit:
I stapled two together to make more room, LOL

Using DI pens, DI ink pads and several stamps.

To join June challenge, hop here.
Theme is Anything goes, as long as your
creation is alternative, weird, dark, cothic ...
