Bandanna Night

I recently hosted a Bandanna Scrap Night for two of my scrap groups. I bought bandanna's for everybody and they put them on. The idea was to make your own "bandanna" printed paper. I bought watercolor paper and got everybody some coasters. They could use any kind of ink: Distress ink pads, walnut ink tintz, Tsukineko antiquing solutions, ecoline ( I don't know what's it called in English). Experiment with different kind of inks; you will get different effects. After you color your paper, glue your paper on the coasters (both sides). And than the fun starts: choose from your stash of stamps: swirls, doodles, paisley etc. and stamp on your painted coasters using a black ink pad. I used black Stazon. After stamping, decorate with a white gel pen. Soooo cool! They all had a different pattern or design, but they all looked very nice. We all had a lot of fun! Bandanna print is one of the hot trends for scrapbooking in 2008.
