What kind of blending solution? I am so sorry to be a pest.......but I am so, so, so impressed. I have to ask.

Thanks.

Pat

Yeah actually I've used the alcohol inks to color before doing things for years...however I had done it engraved it and didn't like it so I used blending solution to remove the majority of the alcohol inks......and I also had used some silver rub n buff in the engraving which I ended up not liking either....so I used ALOT of blending solution and denatured alcohol to remove as much of all of that as I could and ended up with the petina you see.....which actually ends up a huge happy accident...LOL

[CaseysAngel]

That is so pretty honey. You did an amazing job!!!!!!!

[Thyme]

probably the tim holtz blending solution made to go with the alcohol inks

[PennyDuncan]

Yep You got it Dawn......that's the one...BUT...Denatured Alcohol will do the very same thing...and you get more for your money and can purchase it at any paint store........

[Tyler]

That looks awesome, Penny! You amaze me every time!

[pigtailpat]

Thank you Penny, Dawn & Tyler for the stuff. I just cannot wait to pay off my machine so I can start ordering from Tyler. I think after this month, I have about 2 more months' of payments and I am home free and completely paid off!!! Then watch out world!! (and in time for the holidays in the winter.....yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh THANK YOU so much sweetheart for that beautiful message!!!

Oh you made my day - I am THRILLED!!! I swear you are all going to help me stop buying those darned dies!! I know I know - I have a machine that can do all of that and more!! But it always seemed quicker to just grab a die and cut.

But ugh - the expense of it all - absurd. So I am not allowing myself to buy any more dies - NO MORE. You are all helping me use my machine more and that's a good thing. And maybe one of these days I will figure out how to duplicate all of those dies that I think I have to have so I will never be tempted to buy another one!

So far I have not succumbed since joining this forum - you are all helping me break a BAD habit ( and that frees up money to spend on other crafting goodies!!!!)

[PennyDuncan]

Think of it this way Gigi...when you buy those dies...you're RESTRICTED TO ONE SIZE!!!! They size THEY decide on.....with the files you can make them whatever size your heart desires!!!!

Oh I totally agree - I just have to learn how to duplicate them!!! So far so good - I am resisting temptation!! And with so many of you talented people sharing your amazing files, I should never have to buy another die. I am embarrassed to admit how many I have bought SINCE owning my Cat - oh that confession hurts!! NO MORE!!

Now if I can just figure out how to convert all of the templates I have that are just stencils that I have had for many many years (when I started doing all of the Dutch papercrafting) - I will be in seventh heaven.

I think my "Sassy" is going to work harder than ever before but also get more attention than she has in a long time - and that will make both of us happy!

Some of us are S-L-O-W learners, but we do come around!!

Thanks Penny!

Oh my gosh, this is beautiful. I have got to get the engraving tool and some metal. Is this a light weight metal?
