Ink Stains turns 11!!

WOW, how time flies...
it's been 11 years since I started Ink Stains with Roni and shared all sorts of projects, cards, tips, techniques and ideas with you.  Certainly doesn't seem like it's been that long but there's been 3757 posts (not including this one), and over 4.6 MILLION yes you read that right...MILLION page views in that time. That doesn't even count all the folks who subscribe by one of the numerous e-mail or other delivery systems.

I have met so many lovely people over the years, some come and go while others have become long time friends...A GIANT Thank You to everyone out there who visits, subscribes and enjoys Ink Stains...it seems so inadequate but remember...
You are why I do what I do!

Today to help celebrate I thought I'd share some of your favorites...
these are the places that folks visit most often.

Ranger Calendar - Alcohol Inks 015

Groovy Inks seems to be one of the most popular techniques I've ever posted...All you need are a few colors of alcohol inks, glossy cardstock and some pump style hairspray.

mom atc 2 - ink baby 012

Inky Oils is another favorite - this time it's ink + baby oil!
Turns plain old paper into a lovely translucent vellum.


Sentiments and Quotes..paired with my vintage postcards....always a favorite.
Who doesn't need help with sentiments every now and then.


Wax Paper Technique #2 - Faux Embossing Resist 001

Wax Paper Resist Embossing - an oldie but a goodie!



There are just so many to choose from, it's hard to narrow it down...
here are a few more...

Orange Clean Image Transfer Examples005


and

all of the Altered Charms and Jewelry


Handmade Ornaments all seem to be a favorite.

As do ATC's

Hope you have fun taking a look back at some of your favorites and mine!
Thanks again for your friendship over the years!
