not quite MIM..

 I am working on a project/gift that will use this weeks PTI Make it Monday but I am still waiting for my Stamp-A-Faire order and I need some of it to complete my project.  It is expected on Thursday.  Can't wait.

Anyway, in the mean time I thought I would try coloring some different types of ribbon.  Nicole mentioned using the PTI satin or grosgrain ribbon in her video but for my project I wanted to use a cotton twill so I tried that and some PTI also.  From left to right they are

• my own cotton twill

                  I tried making dots, didn't work

• PTI twill

                   I liked the way this worked

• PTI grosgrain

                   tried dots again, hence the blobs in the middle.  still didn't work

• my cotton twill again

The cotton twill is more absorbent than the others and therefore it is harder to make thin lines on it.

I am going to use the one on the right in my project, even tho the lines aren't straight.  Good thing I am not a perfectionist!

I also had trouble getting the cotton twill to lie in a straight line so I taped the edges down.  This also gave me a nice starting point without making a blob with the Copic.


Thanks for visiting.
See you soon,
