I have a few reinkers, but like Susi usually used my ink pads on my mat! You have shown how great the reinkers work so I'll be giving this a try for sure (may have to buy more - tee hee!) Thank you so much for all the kind comments about my pages - you make me blush because I'm having so much fun!Off to the caravan for a few days!

Plus, you remind me -- don't forget the spray bottle!<br /><br />Thanks for your Southern Exposure comments! I thought of you with the rocking horse. On the terracotta pots with the salt -- you make a good point about the pots chipping but I have lots of the faux terracotta pots (the plastic ones that look pretty real) and I think those would work fine; they tend not to crack and if they do, you aren't out a whole lot. I was thinking I might try it and paint them red. We'll see! And the lace ribbon/strings on the mantle -- could be a problem with a working fireplace; you'd have to make them shorter, which I probably would anyway, and that might solve the cat problem. It would for Lizzie, but as you know, all cats react differently! I might try this one, too and if I do I'll let you know how it goes. (My fireplace at home doesn't work so it just has lights in it!) Thanks for the nice words on our baby.

Super to use!<br />Thank you for sharing this with us!♥<br />Always fun to get messy, I got messy a few days ago, since I got an original Gelli Print plate as a present and wanted to test if it is much better than my faux gelli printing methods.<br />Not so very much differences in the results but I think the original plate has really the exact softness in it, so I am quite happy to finally own one - even though it is too expensive in my mind.<br />oxo Susi<br />froebelsternchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06501600240752195171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-86781523748810448962017-11-16T05:44:27.273-06:002017-11-16T05:44:27.273-06:00Interesting technique.
