On Your Anniversary

Time for more fun with some of those wonderful dried dye ink powders . . .

When I first started stamping in 2000, I wouldn't have enjoyed working with a medium as uncontrolled as these powders.  Not knowing exactly what I was going to get would have spooked me.  Thankfully, I've tossed away such inhibiting restraints and I now gravitate towards all manner of dye powders and sprays.  It's an adventure to apply these and have no idea at all how they'll turn out:  and loving the results regardless!
