For the past two weeks PaperArtsy have had a topic of Re-Inkers
and I have really enjoyed the posts and being wonderfully inspired....
My Notebook Cover today has been inspired by the topic....
This is my Notebook cover.....
I so enjoyed mixing the medias and sure did learn lots along the way....
Two colours of Re-inkers were used for the background......
I put a couple of drops onto the mat and swept the card through until I was happy.
I next used the Re-inkers to stamp with, around the edges of the inked card.
The cute mini text has been stamped in plum archival.
The main stamping was stamped and heat embossed in white embossing powder.
The Re-inkers were then mixed with white and translucent embossing pastes for two different effects.
I loved how one was matt and textural and the other one shiny and translucent.
I used all four of them through a stencil.
I tried lots of different techniques this past week with the Re-inkers......
I was intrigued how different the two examples on the left look using exactly the same ink colours
but on different card stock, one matt and one gloss.......
I also tried the Re-inkers and shaving foam, which was a lot of fun........
I also tried the technique through a stencil and got some fabulous and unique effects.
Using a Pigment Re-inker and a roller I spread the ink onto an acrylic block
and rolled it over an embossing folder.
The top left is just laying a card over the ink, on the embossing folder and rubbing it.
The top right is popping the card into the inked embossing folder and embossing it.
The bottom two are the same but using the other side of the folder.
I coloured the ribbon with the left over ink on my acrylic block.
I also used the Re-inkers to colour directly with, to hi-light a little on the flower heads and leaves.
Finishing off with stamping the word sentiments, some white splats and white doodling.
Most of the time my Re-inkers just live in my cupboard, unused,
as I don' think to use them for anything else.......
I had so much fun, learnt lots and got messy this week and loved it.....
I loved exploring new ways to using the Re-inkers.
I would love to enter teh following challenges....

OMG Mac,your note book cover is stunning. I'm like you I always forget my reinkers. BTW, I love that stamp set you used :), I'm a huge fan of paper artsty stamps.
Wow Mac!! Your journal cover looks fantastic, as do your other pieces. I'll have to check these links out as it looks like lots of fun techniques. Love the colours on your cover too, Cathy x
Right up my path Mac, so LOVE this. The colours are actually my favourite [minus pink] and I love this effect. I have some of their stamps and gosh, you have inspired me so much again. Keep on doing those mixed media.xxx
This is so pretty! I love each detail you added Mac! I have a ton of re-inkers that I never use!! You have inspired me to get inky!! : )

Your front cover of your journal is AMAZING, Mac!! LOVE the colours you've used and the techniques. So very cool!! I have not followed Paper Artsy, but now I'm thinking I should do that and learn more about mixed media. Thanks for all your inspiration ... I love that you try all these new things and share your results! xx
This is absolutely gorgeous! I love how you've shared your process and enjoyed seeing your other experiments. It's a while since I've played with reinkers and although I get the Paperartsy updates, I hadn't even considered playing with them until I saw this post. Thank you for the inspiration. Your work is wonderful!

Wow - you really have been having fun with the Re-inkers... and with some fabulous results. I really like the roller/embossing folder backgrounds, and of course your notebook cover looks amazing. I love the white stamping over the colourful background, and the texture pastes, both clear and matte. Really cool post - thanks for sharing all your experiments.

Perfection…
I am also guilty of leaving the reinkers in the closet, unused unless I need them.. You did some lovely things with yours. I do like the brayering and embossing with the pigment ink.
Well someone had fun! What super techniques and I just adore the results of your creativity... That's one fine looking notebook!
This is totally artsy and full of life. Quite an incredible notebook, will not go unnoticed. Would love to be at your side in your craft room dear friend ...going crazy would be fun ;-)
