Pandemic, vac’s, separation from loved ones, isolation, fear, a long litany of things that could break your spirit. I was handling all those things the best I could until I got a call from my youngest son telling me that my oldest son, his brother, had been found dead. October 20, 2021. Fifty one years old. No chances left for reconciliation or healing of our relationship…dead. Final. Gone. <p></p><p> In the minutes, hours, days, weeks since that call I am finding everything so difficult. There are just two who see the rawness of my grief, God and my husband Bob. Poor Bob tries to comfort me as best as he can. God reminds me that He is with the broken-hearted. When I seem inconsolable Jesus reaches out and grabs me, through scripture and music and offers me peace. </p><p> And so, I will create. I will use my hands and heart to create, hopefully healing my grief in the process. </p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjWK40YbJDGtcwizmkWHG7K_fvnYKvI0oa3UfEi2mrXCsgswKWPIgI9SVPZgG_-7dgUQtw-BlZPAWAIAkGfPn61F0k3qs7GS1EwLxmPYpIxG8m_L9xfk0qqN0clYa-Plhua2f2CbO9ZpKFNUO40bHy6hTi1FQOhyPcSXpzA44vpQ9usMF4mCyDDsrR7=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjWK40YbJDGtcwizmkWHG7K_fvnYKvI0oa3UfEi2mrXCsgswKWPIgI9SVPZgG_-7dgUQtw-BlZPAWAIAkGfPn61F0k3qs7GS1EwLxmPYpIxG8m_L9xfk0qqN0clYa-Plhua2f2CbO9ZpKFNUO40bHy6hTi1FQOhyPcSXpzA44vpQ9usMF4mCyDDsrR7=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p>very_inky_fingershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05814574131953865911noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868602165667866736.post-35607249175664093752021-04-25T14:51:00.001-04:002021-04-25T14:51:36.156-04:00Fun With Technique Junkies Red Rubber<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here are three cards I created using Technique Junkies Stamps.

First I used a blending brush and spread quite a few bright colors in no particular order. Then I stamped the background stamp, <span style="text-align: left;">Dotted-Blooms on top of all those colors using versamark embossing ink. I used clear embossing powder and heat set it. Then, the part that really makes these colors pop...you blend black or dark blu ink over the entire card. The embossed image resists the black and, VOILA! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcuaFg2-Gr85eLTXJ5Qdufi4agRzN0uIAaE35L-WuuqmqcwTBUI4Q1Y7oCEyTIm0KcXoEUu8kcaLl7BYUNG7vfycFq_WaUt-HO1UfpJAzE8BlYWhb2gLAztgcMVHjxbNb8ViGURFKwHNg/s640/IMG_6560.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcuaFg2-Gr85eLTXJ5Qdufi4agRzN0uIAaE35L-WuuqmqcwTBUI4Q1Y7oCEyTIm0KcXoEUu8kcaLl7BYUNG7vfycFq_WaUt-HO1UfpJAzE8BlYWhb2gLAztgcMVHjxbNb8ViGURFKwHNg/s320/IMG_6560.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/dotted-blooms/">https://techniquejunkies.com/dotted-blooms/</a><br /></div><p><br /></p><p>This second image is Palm Collage background stamp.

The great thing about online classes at Onlinecardclasses.com is that they are always available to you. I have done the Tim Holtz Chemistry 1 & 2 a few times.</span><br />

The frustration I am having signing into this blog is driving me crazy! For weeks I could press new post until the cows came home and nothing. Today, as a lark, I pressed it and it let me right in. I have no idea what is wrong here but it is so maddening. <br />
<br />
I started using Word Press a few years ago but this one seemed so easy at the time. Now, not so much. I literally have not been able to sign in to change or add anything since September 28th. I guess I will post this little rant with a couple card pic's and see if it loads.<br />

Thanks to you for checking in on my blog even when nothing seems to happen. very_inky_fingershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05814574131953865911noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868602165667866736.post-27041202396157565222017-09-18T18:18:00.000-04:002017-09-18T18:18:00.728-04:00During a Hurricane<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Looks a bit ridiculous as I look back on it. A hurricane, Irma, was bearing down on my area in Florida. I spent a lot of hours putting all of my stamp inventory on Evernote, taking pic's of all my stamps, storing them under my bed in bins. I did not have time to get my die inventory on Evernote, so I put them inside this bin with all of my inks, my Misti, my Tim Holtz platform, my Tombow markers and my copics. I wrapped the bin with the red straps and tied them into knots. I held my breath and I prayed that the storm would not be as bad as predicted.<br />
<br />
We live in the home my in-laws purchased twenty eight years ago, a manufactured home in a nice gated community. A double wide. It's our home right now and it was a home we were told to evacuate because manufactured homes do not hold up well during hurricanes. We were reluctant to leave because we were forewarned by Bob's parents that the shelter experience was a nightmare, and yet that is where we had to head.<br />
<br />
For two and a half days we shared space with 489 others who sought shelter. Blanket to blanket, cot to cot, blow up mattress to more blankets, we gathered on the floor of our local middle school gym. I looked at my paper, my green bin, my stamps, my big shots and I wondered if they would still be mine after the storm. I worried about photo's and scrapbooks and "stuff" and I worried about Bob's mom over in her care home. I spent a lot of time worrying and thankfully the storm lessened before it came through. We listened, together, as the storm raged outside. We were shut off from the outside and had no idea what to expect. All ages, all races, all religious affiliations, left, right and center. None of that mattered as we gathered together, sharing our safe space. Each one of those people had their own worries, some worried that they would lose everything. We were there for each other encouraging, calming and praying.<br />
<br />
When the storm was passed I drove home and looked at our house as it stood exactly as I had left it. I got out of my car and walked around my house praising God with each step. I am so very thankful. I learned that I might have a bit too much stuff and that if I have it I need to document it and insure it. The stuff cannot replace our lives.... I am blessed.<br />
<br />
I learned that the America I know and love is still the America I know and love and that all of the stories I see on TV do not represent what I saw in that shelter. Wonderful people. Truly wonderful people. God is Great!<br />

This month the challenge at Technique Junkies is; Bleach Blocking. I had never tried this before and found it addictive. The colors change so dramatically depending on what ink you use. I inked the paper first using dye inks. Then I used a block rubber stamp to lift the color by dipping it into bleach I had poured into a plate. Red Alert... make sure you are in a well-ventilated room. </div>

I nearly lost this beautiful background by dropping a black soot Distress Ink pad right on the center. Luckily I have these Tim Holtz words and I was able to cover the "oops" quite nicely. <br />

This is my second card using the crinkled watercolor technique. I tried to get the design to look similar to butterfly wings. The sentiment is from Technique Junkies. The butterfly at the bottom is cut from tissue wrap with an allover butterfly design.<br />

I have two entries for this challenge. I have to say the first time I attempted this I used Blister powder to whip up some watercolor and it did not have the desired results. Then I used my trusty Kuretake Watercolors and some tissue paper and it worked great. </div>
<br />
Basically you paint some colors onto your watercolor paper and while wet you take crinkled tissue wrapping paper and lay it down onto the wet watercolor. I waited 25 minutes and then removed the paper....voila!<br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Jennifer McGuire again! She did some awesome cards using Distress Oxide inks and by spraying water onto a stencil and holding it on the paper for a couple minutes you get a really pretty reaction. I used a stencil I got from Aliexpress and love the look I got.</b></span></div>
