I have had so much fun putting together my OOAK Kits! The first is my

One of a Kind LORD of the Rings Return of the KING MEN ATC Kit ,

and the second kit is a One of a Kind LORD of the Rings ATC ARWEN and The Elves KIT! You can check them out for purchase on my ETSY Pinkdilla Shop!

I was inspired to use bright colors for the "Games We Play" ATC swap going on at Collage Stuff. Purple, pinks, yellows and glitter! The games I played growing up were, dress up, cooking and Love! Of course I also played Barbie, so I used the bright pink glitter to include her influence as well! Some of my background cards are Fantasy Monoprinted that I shared before, you can find my earlier post HERE. How fun.

I’m so excited to offer another one of my Unique and One of A Kind paperdoll Kits for sale on Etsy. This time Alice and the Queen, along with all of the pieces to make them, come nestled inside of an Alice Blue box! Take a peek HERE at my online shop.

I adore Toybox’s Monoprinting technique book. It has become my go to book for creating fantasy colored glossy cardstock. I’ve altered their instructions by using thin recycled plastic instead of acetate book report covers. I like to use shrink wrap and scrapbooking packaging, (as long as it can be slightly crinkled in your hand then it is good! ).

First, you need 2-3 different colors of DYE INK, a sheet of glossy cardstock, (I have also tried glossy photo paper but it doesn’t look as nice to me), and any old recycled thin plastic! Lightly ink on your plastic with the lightest color ink first. Fold the plastic in half and have fun crinkling it and using your fingers to tap a little pattern on to it. Open up the plastic and dip your glossy paper glossy side down. You can do this step over and over again by refolding and crinkling the plastic the way you like. Next, I use the darker colored inks and tap around random spots onto the plastic and dip my glossy paper onto it.

Adirondack sprays make a great finishing touch. Also, StazOn Black ink did work for this technique but dries quickly. The last thing I did for my purple colored cards was to rub purple ink onto the card over a dried background. It gives a dimension to the artwork, each one is so unique! I have also tried monoprinting on MATTE Glossy cardstock and I liked lighter colors best, and rubbing the inks into the cardstock as well made a watercolor look instead of a marbled effect. Have fun trying this technique out!

Newly listed on Etsy, my One of a Kind Memory album Kit! In Gorgeous Rainbow colors all to decorate Wizard of Oz style! I have collected anything related to Wizard of Oz and now I have combined some of my collection of collector cards, stickers and fabric, along with the rainbow hued accessoires that is included with this Kit!
