I am slowing awakening my inner Dina Wakley and playing with spray inks. I'm not ashamed to admit that at first I was a bit intimidated, but now I love it.
I was a guest blogger over at Creating Keepsakes blog and shared one of my favorite techniques for using Tattered Angel's Glimmer Mist & Glimmer Screens to add a pop of color & create your own unique background paper.
The pictures are of me working on Quincey's quilt and her crib bumper (I never did finish the crib bumper project. Sandi, don't be disappointed in me ;) b/c I still have big plans for your fabulous fabric.
Studio Calico yellow paper; Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Screens (stencil); American Crafts paper, letters, sewing machine rubon, dress form chipboard sticker
~~ah, it feels so great to be home.

I love this, I myself am a little intimidated by it but experimentation is always a good thing,right? : )
I swear I say this every single time, but I love EVERYTHING you do!!
That is SO awesome!!
I thought I was the only one who worked best sitting on the floor...I love being able to occupy the entire living room carpet with supplies. I always see pictures of these wonderful craft desks. They never provide the space I need. Here's to floor crafting!
Gorgeous layout! :D
wow, that is such a nice layout!! thank you once again, for answering my interview that i wrote last week to you :D your projects are all so fantastic!!! :)

I really must try to experiment more with the mists that are available. It gives a great look.
LOVE the fabric you're working with. I have some of Sandi's fabric but have only made little things (mini books). PLEASE show us the finished quilt - I'm sure there are a lot more ladies besides me that would love to see!
absolutely stunning! :)
soooooooooo cool!
love it!!! the stickers and the colors are beautiful. I´d like to be able to sew but I think I´m not very goog at sewing at all, I need some classes I guess LOL. I admire people like you who make her children´s clothes so beautiful.
Awesome layout...I love all the details, the colors...and the theme! It is so much fun to make stuff...HOMEMADE is the best!!!
Gorgeous layout!! I love all you do!!

I am a little bit intimidated by glimmer mist. Party the cost. What the heck will I do with $40 worth of sprayable inks if I can't work it out!? But I want to play with them and this layout is fabulous and makes me want to try them!
I love it! (and, can I just say, I think the cabinet behind you in these photos is almost as famous as you are!! Its EVERYWHERE! Magazine covers, many of your photos, etc. :)
Love the layout! I wish I could sew and make things!!!!

I LOVE your work Liz. It is very inspiring to me and love to look when you have updated your blog.
Keep on inspiring!
Clearly, I am not alone in coveting your cabinet thingy behind you in both this layout post & what you happen to be perched upon on your lovely cover of CK. Please, please, please share the color & anything else you did to get it to look like it does. It's fabulous.
What fabric are you working with in the picture. It's beautiful!!
Very fun : )
Okay, I was really intimidated by trying out the mist...really messed up on a layout and than just cut the design out and put it on my page...you can check my layout on my blog: http://deborahsscrapbooklayouts.blogspot.com/2009/05/have-you-ever-used-spray-ink-on-layout.html
