Mixed Media Re-Do

I was so unhappy with my other pages for the Mixed Media Challenge 5, I have been trying to find time to re-do another page. Today was the day!  I watched a few more videos -- and tried again.

I do like this one better.  I used watercolor and what this started as sure didn't end up the same!  The more I layered, the more I liked it.  Good grief, my hands are sure messy though.  :)

I couldn't show you both hands [ I had to take the photo], but my other hand is just as bad.   Does anyone know how to remove this stuff?  I have to work tomorrow....  I'll try whatever is in my cupboard and hope something works!  This could be not good!  Sure was fun doing this though I have to say!
 


Thanks for stopping by~

Love it! Okay now might be in time for work but...go out and get yourself a Tim holtz scrubbie!! OMG it works so good. I use warm water and dawn dish soap, get a good lather then scrub away all the ink, paint and even alcohol ink! Does tear up your hands either and I scrub three four times day! :)

Jeez can't type to night....not in time for work and it does NOT tear up your hands!

LOVE the watercolors and the big HELLO! Did you ever get your hands clean? I use a scrubbie, too! THX for playing with us at A Mixed Media Color Challenge!

This is a beautiful mixed media card! So sorry about your hands this time, but for next time head to the drugstore for latex surgical gloves. I use them for stamping, cleaning, and even mixing meatloaf- so my hands stay clean. They are inexpensive, so I can use a new pair for each need. These are just like the surgical gloves we wore when I dental assisted, back in the day! For now, try rubbing alcohol!

Fabulous Vicki! You Aced it girl! Worth the dirty hands, eh? I think GoJo makes a painters hand cleaner although not sure where to get it.

Wonderful colors on this Vicki! When you really get into it - the result is always very dirty/colorful hands!

You asked how I did my easel for my doll stamp - It's a Tim Holtz Alterations die and I linked to it on my post.
