Distress Inks

I finally got the distress inks I've been wanting as a Christmas gift, so had to start playing with them!  This focal stamped in black StazOn onto a background made from glossy cardstock that has distress ink applied with a brayer.  I had so much fun playing with these.  These cards all show focals made this way where the backgrounds have a single color of ink on each -- though equally nice effects can be achieved by using two or more colors of the distress ink on the same piece of glossy cardstock.  Here are a few more examples of quick cards made with Distress Ink backgrounds:


The bird stamps are "Sweet Treats" Acrylic Stamps from Hot Off the Press.  The butterfly and flower are from K&Company's QueSeraSera Stamps.

The card backgrounds (as opposed to the backgrounds for the stamped images) are either Paper Wishes cards or papers.

That background is a PW card base. They have several nice ones.
