Great ideas..........add this to the list. Hold the cotton ball with a clothes pin and your fingers don't get inked!

Okay girls....I don't have any metallic reinkers (actually, I only have one reinker...hmmmm) but I keep seeing "encore DTP style"....could someone enlighten my challenged brain and explain what DTP style is?!!

DTP is direct to paper -- in other words, rub your paper with your ink pad.

I didn't have metallic reinkers either.. but I have a stampabilities (?) gold ink pad and I just smooshed that on the glossy before applying the reinkers... worked great!;)

Another trick ;) Thanks to my insurance company I have about a million of those alcohol prep pads to clean off injection sites. I put a few drops of reinker right on one of those and then pounced that onto my cardstock.
What fun! One of my favorite techniques. Will play, but will not be able to upload for a few days. PC will be here today or tomorrow........whoohoo!!! BTW, I always use cotton balls and be sure to use 90% alcohol. I have never used metallic inks. I would love to try the Pearl Ex. Sure having fun looking at everyone's cards. Thanks Beth for motivating all of us. Nancy
Here is one from my gallery. Hopefully I will get to play later on tonight. I did mine a bit different. I used black glossy, just for a change. I really like the way it turned out but the scan is not that great. I have some wooden blocks that my grandchildren used to use, the ones with the alphabets on them and little pictures. I then put one of those felt pieces that is used to put under furniture legs on the block. They are sticky on the opposite side. Needless to say, my grandchildren lost a few blocks. I just love them.

I was surprised how quick and painless this technique was! I didn't even get ink on my fingers. Well, okay, the ink on my fingers is from opening the pads. So I'm not counting it.
Thanks for the Acroym tip! I am now off to try making eggplant polished stone (go figure that would be my only reinker color....I think I'll add some other reinkers on my next months wish list!!!)
I have always done my PS with cotton balls, alcohol and reinkers. Great tips on using paint pens and such, will have to store in my brain for the future.
Here is mine...Ode to Romania!
edit:my upload got lost in limbo somewhere so I have uploaded it again
Believe it or not I had some Ox Gall Liquid. I have no idea what it is other than for adding flow to watercolors. I really don't use it, but figured I give it a shot. I've mixed them with a little water before, but you still have to set it with acrylic or hairspray.

I don't even want to think what Ox Gall could be! Oh that's too funny. Well, I have some Gamsol, I'll give it a try and see what happens. Thanks for responding.
Here is mine. I had fun trying this for the first time, but the results of my first 2 attempts seemed kinda strange....decided to play it safe with the basic blue background! I'll just have to keep practicing... Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
here's my second one this was alot of fun, thanks for challenge it sure takes you out of your comfort zone but I have learned so much since I started doing them. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I got one done that worked for LSC55 (1 set) as well. That wasn't planned, but since it worked out that way, hey, why not. Of course, it would have looked better with linen behind the flowers & words.
I like to use metallic paint pens -- all you have to do is dab a little in dots on the paper and the alcohol will blend them along with the reinkers.
This is one of my favorite techniques and will definitely be playing along!
Sherry...thanks for that tip! I do have the gold/silver pen that SU sells...I will try that. I just got home a few minutes ago, so I will probably try this later this evening or tomorrow. :razz:

I love polished stone. The sample that I did, instead of pouncing with the cotton ball, I swipped it across the glossy paper. Take a look...it's a whole different affect.
I went Shopping *yay* and decided i should stop at the local stamp supply store and bought some re-inkers so i could play today... plus they're on the list for VSN... SOOOooo i needed them anyway ;)
*sigh* and here i was all excited about doing todays challenge...im still waiting for my glossy card stock to come in ... funny thing is i should have it tomorow lol:???:
Rubbing alcohol and cotton balls are both in my art cupboard in my classroom. Will have to wait until tomorrow to try this if I don't forget to bring them home. I doubt that hyrogen peroxide will work as a substitute.
Got mine done. Had an excuse to make yet another card. Made it for my Aunt's birthday. Think she is going to be a young 90. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

my second of the day. I really like this one. I made it into a birthday card for my DH's mother. I used gold embossing powder, for the butterfly. Take a look and let me know if it will work for the mother in law.
