This week over at Grungy Monday headquarters we had a pretty easy assignment - use Distress Inks in any way! Ofcourse if you check out the Distress King's blog you will find plenty of great ways to use this ink!
I have several pieces in partial completion, but due to an upcoming vacation and a severe shortage of time I ended up finishing this fishy card! This technique is Non-Stick Color from the current Technique Junkie newsletter. Pretty easy, basically putting your Distress ink down on a non-stick craft sheet and using that as your "ink pad"... a bit more complicated, but the newsletter can give you exact instructions! I also used the Distress inks to add some color to the oval I cut out with my Nestabilities die. This card fits several challenges - use my stash, more masculine cards and GM!
I'm using one of my all time favorite stamps from Club Scrap, it's from the Fossils kit and it's one of the first kits I got from them. They had only scrapbook kits just prior to this kit and about 2 months before that they came out with a stamp kit, I signed up when I saw a sneak peek of these images!
Supplies:
cardstock: Club Scrap (Culinary, Great Outdoors)
stamp: Club Scrap
ink: Distress - Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, Stormy Sky and Weathered Wood
other: black brads and a funky "fishing lure"
