Warning!....Ink bottles squirt!!!

On Friday i received some new inks fron Jennie at The Artistic Stamper, and was very excited to test out my new "pink" Zig alcohol ink. I wanted something nice and bright to enhance my fruit inking.

So i opened the bottle, pierced the top with a needle and when i took it out i was met with a fountain of pink! Result......one pink thumb!!!



Believe it or not, this was AFTER washing it! However it did ensure i fitted right in with the evenings activity, i took my girls to see High School Musical 3 and the pink was most definately at home with the rest of the outfits worn!

Three days on, my skin is back to normal, however my nail is still a lighter shade of bright pink. I do seem to be getting some funny looks when i pay for things in shops, personally i just think they are jealous! :)

So watch those alcohol ink bottles people.......meanwhile, i'm applying for an adult to supervise me during crafting! :)

  6. Lol thanks Maddy, i'll certainly think about the glitter. My hairdresser asked me if i'd been playing with glitter as i had loads of it through my hair lol :)

    I certainly did look the part Hazel, except i looked about 30 years too old to be in there!

    Thanks Patty :) So you think it should be a regular thing then lol?

  7. Well, like my husband says of his pink shirts, "it takes a real man to be secure enough in his masculinity to wear pink." ;)

  11. I think the red finger is exactly why I stay away from messy crafting! I do get crazy with my ink pad, but stay away from the bottles!

  12. Come on Calv, admit it, you didn't spill any ink, just whacked your thumb with a hammer making that lovely fairy chest and are just trying to cover it up! Erm, not that I would have done anything like that you understand...hope its all back to normal now. Richard
