Fabulous Friday With Kate

hey there, and welcome to the first in the fabulous fridays with kate series! this video
features one of my favorite techniques and tips. in july i had the pleasure of going to cha
with sue, i was able to meet jenni bowlin and have a little chat with her. we discussed her
new ink colors (weather vane, speckled egg, & lavender sachet) and she shared a really
fabulous tip with me. one question i always had was why she didn’t make color mists to
accompany her ink pads, reinkers, and paint dabbers? her response, i will never make that
product because i because i just make my own sprays with the reinkers! what? what a
fabulous idea!!! here is how you do it:

supplies – empty mister, water, reinker

step 1: fill the mister halfway with water

step 2: add 10-12 drops of reinker

step 3: shake mister to combine color

step 4: spray away

how easy is that? now you can create custom mists to match all your favorite jenni bowlin
inks.

here is a little technique i like to use with any spray/mist. instead of spraying the
traditional way, i like to remove the sprayer, place it over my paper/product and tap the
lit to create a droplet effect rather than a spray. you can also just let the ink drip off the
end to create larger drops.

i hope you enjoyed this tip and technique! check out www.itsalwaysfabulous.etsy.com for
jenni bowlin products and have a fabulous Friday!!!

thanks for watching ~ kate
