Domino Pendants and Giveaway!

Hello all and welcome! I've switched gears this week and decided to work on domino pendants. I was asked to make a pendant with an image of a boxer (bottom left). It's so much easier to make multiple pendants given the materials involved (alcohol ink, acrylic paint, Envirotex Lite, etc.) so I made about 20! Note the music theme on many of them which brings me to my giveaway! Thank you to all the people in the Facebook community who liked my page That's What You Ink!! I really appreciate your interest and support. I would like some feedback from my viewing community. Please leave a comment about what made you like That's What You Ink! and what your expectations are from my page. I will pick a random winner via random.org and notify you in the next post. This giveaway opens now and will close Thursday at 11:00PM. It is for a $25 iTunes gift card. Good luck!

Masculine Birthday Card Featuring Ranger Products

This is a birthday card I made for a guy who owns a wine bar, at one time had a unique mustache, and loves music. The funny thing is that he never received it!! That's another story. Anyway I wanted to incorporate his personality into the card as I continue to explore my masculine side. The focal stamp is by Tim Holtz, the drink stamp is by Inkadinkado, and the sentiment is by Hero Arts. The papers are various substrates from Ranger with the unique one being Kraft Glassine paper, a translucent coated paper that is kind of difficult to explain-you would have to experience it to get a feel for it. The latest product I used is the Distress paint that I stamped the mustache with. Its unique formulation allows for manipulation with water while it's wet which is great for blending but is waterproof after it dries! I LOVE this acrylic paint! It stamped with such detail-it wasn't globby as it's texture is thin-perfect for stamping. It is a sure winner. By the way, here is a link to the inspiration-owner of Motor City Wine which by the way has great live music, especially on Wednesdays! http://motorcitywine.com/about.php
