let the magic begin... 

 following tim's instructions for using lift-ink the

first stamp and lift will look like it didn't work

 the second application is magical

  

  

  

 i float the alcohol inks on a lot (a lot) of water

  

 i added the black soot to dingy it up a bit, the stamped

 colour will be much brighter if you omit this step

  

  

  this lift is all about putting ink on the stamp

 tim was right, i love how 

imperfect the transfer of colour is

  

  

...another idea tried, more ideas to test.

*My (self-imposed) Blogiversary Challenge is to create a new tag using the same; stamp sets, colour pallet and materials/thematic elements (hopefully getting more crazy/creative over time) as the ones I used in my first post and the first tag I made.
