Rainbow Lady's challenge this week is 'Lets Get Inky'.
Well I certainly have - and I've got to go out tonight so I'll probably end up using bleach on my hands.
After several attempts going in the bin - each one totally different from the others, I settled on making a tag - if it goes on a card at some stage it will have to be an 8 x 8 or an A5 card coz I just went for it without measuring. For the background I used Radiant Rain Colour concentrates Sky and Yellow Rose. I know - where's the yellow? Well as I had forgotten, and was reminded when I was blending - yellow and blue make green. Brilliant - I don't have a green and now I don't have to buy one. I'll have to see what other colours I can come up with mixing the 5 colours I've got.
The main stamp is a Clarity one and the feint script (I used Stone Grey Stazon) is Old French Writing by Hero Arts. A couple of butterflies from a Cardio set and some inking through some sequin waste to finish off. Then I painted over the whole tag with Paper Artsy Metallic Glaze.
The two colours of ribbon were some cream grosgrain coloured with Promarkers, the button and flower from my stash.
I hope you'll come and join in this week. Sales of bleach could go up this week - unless someone can tell me a better way of cleaning inky hands.
Thanks very much for visiting today.

What glorious colours you created with your experiments Beryl - love the rich blue and green and the beautiful stamping.
Bleach is the only thing that works for me on inky fingers - Staz-on Cleaner works on finger nails, but not on skin. Use lashings of hand cream after bleaching though. Have a great night out - hugs, Sylvia x
Super tag, love the colours you achieved.
Hi Beryl
oh this is gorgeous i luv the colours, fabulous blending, great image, sue,x
Beryl what an absolutely gorgous tag. Love the colours and the stamping. I haven't got any of the radient rains but they look very useful. Thank for your lovely comment on my blog. Take care hugs x ChrisB
This is wonderful Beryl. I love the green you've created and must say I've never heard of Radiant Rain Colour concentrates ......... Oh, but I live a sheltered life, lol! The teensy butterflies are sweet and the Clarity Swirl is lovely. I'll be hitting the bleach bottle in a little while too. I've been inking with black and the tips of my fingers and nails look terrible, lol!

I love this tag too. Again the colour combination and stamps are just fabulous. Is that stamp still available because I might just need to look for it ;)
Thank you for the lovely comments you leave on my blog, they mean loads to me. I'm really looking forward to seeing your word book and am glad I inspired you a bit lol I love the new look blog too, very fresh.
Take care, Jackie xx
Just don't get inky Beryl lol. Sounds like you have had a great old time but I so love the finished tag, well worth the mess lol.
Thanks for letting me know what the plant was called Beryl. Think I'll toddle along to the garden centre one of these days and see if I can get one. Hugs x
