Take as long as you like on these. I like hearing your thought process and how you decide what to do. I think that like many of us, you sit down not knowing exactly what you want to do, so you just play and experiment. In my book, that’s always ok to watch.

Hi Marion, beautiful cards and as always great techniques and inspiration!! I love distress oxides, they’re my go to inks. Although I did buy CP inks after watching your videos and I love them too.

Hi. I think Mr. Siri was just sympathising with you on having to make sure everything was perfectly dry before anything else could be done.😂 Thank you for sharing your work, it's all good stuff. Your card fronts look lovely and I'm glad you left the brayer piece intact for a background as it's so nice. I don't have any Tim Holtz ink as it just works out so expensive to have a decent choice of colours and I've heard that they give a sort of chalky finish that I'm not sure I'd want despite how much fun they look to play with. Thanks again and have a great day.😊

[@marionemberson]

Thanks Deb, he's always listening to me, a bit worrying really 🤣🤣 Yes, they do leave a chalky finish, I have a video coming out in a few weeks stamping with them, I don't have loads, as yes, they do work out expensive and I LOVE my Catherine Pooler ones, but I just got a few colours that I love !! the one inch cubes are a much better way of getting them 😜😜🥰🥰
