Firstly - I apologise for the photos not being in sequence. I have always wanted to do a lo with transparency and I have used a Hambly one this time. Another first is that I wanted to impress on my children that they should always be content with themselves and be whoever they are. Hence - I named this lo - I am Me - I am the Me I wanna be.I think being yourself is always very important and it took me years growing up to realise that. I hope that this lo will portray how I feel and signaling a new change in Jan 2008 that I should try to change and start journalling all my thoughts. Maybe being older - makes me feel wiser??? LOL!!!!
There wasn't anything difficult about doing this lo except it was very very tedious cutting the delicate plant. Took me nearly 1 and a half hours using both my cutter bee and X-acto knife. I had to be very careful not to tear the delicate stems. In addition, gluing it was no mean feat too...
I tried dabbing alcohol ink on the sheet but it kinda corroded the sheet - not a nice feel to the sheet anymore - not so smooth. So I won't recommend using alcohol inks on acrylic sheets. The rest was just cut and paste and a little Yellow UTEE to brighten up the corner. Would also like to credit KAtherine for giving me the idea to use alcohol inks on the transparency.
Materials used:
Hambly Transparency (SV), KnCo Mira pps, Sunflower UTEE by Ranger, Thickers chipboard alphas, 7 Gypsies rubons, Welcome to Asia chinese rubon, Acrylic Dabber - Red Pepper, Alcohol inks - gold, butterscotch and pesto, black Stazon ink, Penny Black Script stamp and 3d pop up dots...
