Rules are for Breaking


This is a layout from one of the retreat classes.
I'm not one for following "rules" as such and generally like to follow a class just for new ideas.
This class involved using inks and bandages and lots of glitter that (nearly two weeks later) my jeans are still sparkling despite going through two washes!!!
The idea was to ink the reverse of the transparency but, after covering myself in glitter I didn't quite fancy the ink so I left it clear.
A few of my table buddies wished they'd done the same!


I think a more "golden" glitter would have looked better but it was too late after I'd chucked it all on.
So, even though I didn't "use" the techniques, I did learn and locked them away for future use.

Have you been meaning to use a newly learned technique?
Leave me a comment and tell me what it is!!!
