Following a chance glimpse of a blog post that I saw mentioned on twitter or Facebook last week, there was a bit of a Twitter conversation going, and I bought a few Bombay Inks by Dr Ph Martin at a very good price - and great service, they were sent very quickly... quicker than I had time to play with them..
I did a few bits of lettering with some of them on this and that (can't share yet, it's for DT pieces... keep watching!) and some blobbing/dripping (may add that journal page to the end here, only I'm not very happy with it, so we'll see...) until this afternoon....
I wanted to see how it would work mixing the ink with Grunge Paste... the ink is highly pigmented so I knew I wouldn't need a lot.... and hey presto.... I painted the pages with Snowflake Fresco before I started..
Then I switched to the Magenta Hue archival ink, and the Paperartsy stamp (MN48) keeping mainly to the texture free spaces.
Now, do I share the dripping blobbing or not.... I think not...

Loving what you have done with your happy mail! These stencils are yet to hit SA...
Come on then spill the beans with the blobbing and dripping, what happened or didn't as the case may be!!!
Very pink pages indeed, but love how you've mixed the ink with the grunge paste and you're teasing again with those new ink pads and 'layering' stencils!!!!

Those inks sound intriguing. Love your pages. Great colour and images and love the texture. Tracy x
Way to go Helen! Great page and inks look fun:-)
This is fabulous Helen, I love the stenciling and the black against pink xx
Even though there's a lot of minus Green on these pages I really like them Helen!. The inks with the GP have worked fabulously and I definitely need that reverse chicken wire stencil. Love all the stamps you used.

Never heard of those inks but they look as if they will be very useful. Love your pages and the reverse chicken wire stencil is a 'must' for me. Well done Helen.
Hugs, Neet xx
Lovely mix of textures, inks and images. Looks like you had lots of fun doing this. Julie Ann x
Great PINK pages! Love the texture and the reverse chicken wire. I'm thinking "hey I got real chicken wire left over from the coop...." funny what we think of around the house that could work instead. I would like to see the dripping blobbing too :). Have a great Monday! Rasz
Very pinky and very perky! Such fun pages with all those fabulous textures and stencil layers. I'm thinking you must have given in to all that persuasion in the comments above... hoping to see some dripping and blobbing soon!
