Distress Inks are made to work with water. Often you can ink an image and then spritz the image with water before stamping to get a neat effect. This works best with very simple images. I wanted to see what I could do to add some subtle distress ink colors to a detailed stamp.
The video shows how to get the subtle stamping and talks about what I did with the cards. It doesn't go through every step as the assembly of the cards is pretty straight forward.

Thanks for watching!
I really like this technique, Lisa. This would be perfect for making care cards for our church ministry. They need to be flat to keep down postage costs, but I always want to do something pretty. It looks pretty fast, too! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cute! TFS!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are such pretty cards.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to try this technique. I have to use my distress inks more then for just distressing my edges.
beautiful cards Lisa and thanks for a great video to show us how you made the cards
ReplyDeleteGreat technique and such a beautiful card! Seems like a very versatile stamp.
