Adventures with Distress Ink

I don't know about you, but I love distress inks. They are so versatile.

Here's a sample I made using what I call the "smoosh and stamp" method.  I simply applied various distress inks directly from pad to my craft sheet (being careful to place the ink close to each other but not touching), pressed and smooshed my stamp into the ink, spritzed it lightly with water and stamped it on my cardstock.  I  stamped the sentiment, scored a couple of line on the left, and tied on the ribbon. Then it was simply a matter of matting it up with green card stock and applying it to my  blue card base. Pretty simple, but it has a nice watercolored look, don't you think?



Definitely a technique I'll be trying again.  How about you?

Thanks for stopping by today.  See you again soon.

  1. This is a very interesting technique Kathy. I think you should consider contacting Kate at OWH who does the tutorials because this sounds like it's something that isn't terribly difficult but what fabulous results!
