Distress Inks are Fabulous

G'Day.....

Just having fun creating cards.....with distress ink and water.

Here is a card, I made using aged mahogany.

I sponged a whole stencil with aged mahogany onto watercolour paper. I cut out the centre shape and was left with reverse L shape, then I used a water brush to pull water from the sponge area, which created a light colour background, I kept on doing this until I ended up with the the shade I wanted.

I then glued this shape onto my white base cardstock. I stamped Happy Birthday (rubber stamp) and coloured it in with a coloured pencil that matched aged mahogany. Here is a close up.

 

 

I then stamped a banner (KaiserCraft - weekdays ) with aged mahogany onto watercolour paper and pulled the colour from the edges with a water brush and cut them out and stuck them on the base card with pop dots for dimension and jazz them up with a red jewel.

How cool is that, just love that technique. I really like colouring this way with distress inks.

Gotta get me some more colours...
