Love it Christy! And I agree with Marianne, yours is heaps cooler

Here's a pellet burner. Now that is some serious heat she used!!!

How do you tell when it's done-when the smoke alarm goes off?

Ok, now's my big chance, DH is out and we just paid our house insurance this week so I'm good!!!

Nice color combo Cool look

Ok, I tried it next to the window and the smoke alarm didn't even go off.

Christy, how did you spread the reinker around? Mine just sat there then I used a foam brush on one, a noodle brush on one and the canned air on another to get them moving. I also tried some Close to My Heart reinkers which spread a lot more, thinner than Distress. Those Distress are really heavy and concentrated. I used light colors and got dark (but not burned) results.

Did you use glossy card stock, Marianne? Just a thought...

Yes, I did use glossy cardstock, Sharon, but it isn't very heavy or very glossy. I should try and find something better.

I splattered the blue on first---when it was taking a really long time to dry I smooshed it with another piece of glossy cardstock (how I wound up with 2) when the blue was somewhat dry I added the yellow, smooshed both again

Thanks, Christy, that's a good idea. I'll try it!

I love that effect! But I don't think I'd want to do anything that would set off the smoke alarm. And considering that we're expecting a winter weather Armageddon in the next few hours, I don't think I'll be trying anything outside any time soon.

very cool - and yep, Christy's is better! Since I'm out in the garage I'll just open one of the big door when I try it!
