Distress Ink with Versamark Stamping

I've enjoyed playing with my distress inks.  For these cards, I played with stamping glossy cardstock with Versamark Ink and letting it dry thoroughly before making a background with it by adding distress ink with a brayer. This results in what looks like a white imprint on the colored background.  For this first card I cut strips that I added to a lacey card from Hot Off The Press. I cut another section for a focal and matted it.  The next card started with using this cardstock background for the card base, then stamping a tag onto a plain background and adding it for a focal.
The "THANKS" stamp is from K&Company's QueSeraSera Clear Stamps.  The birdcage is part of the "Sweet Tweets" acrylic stamp set from Hot Off the Press.  The stamp used on the ribbon is from Hot Off the Press's "Matching Borders and Focals" set.
