Stamping with distress inks

Hi All!

It's my turn (Priya) to showcase some of the effects we can achieve using distress inks... Today, I tried distress inks to create watercolor effect.. I was studying about distress inks and found this fun technique... Have a look at it first..

Do you know we can stamp directly with distress ink pads? Distress inks and markers are not only for resist embossing and coloring.. we can use these as normal ink pads too.. Because distress inks comes in a variety of vibrant colors, it produces such a brilliant stamping effect that you will realize that you are not just a crafter but an artist.. :D

I stamped the Hero arts Blooming Meadows with various distress ink pads (list at the bottom) and spritzed water over it.. You can use spritz water bottles but since I don't have any, I used a tooth brush to sprinkle some fine droplets of water on the stamp...
Here is a closour look at the final effect..


doesn't the image looks like it has been painted from scratch?

This is just one of the zillion effects you can achieve using distress inks.. keep watching this space to learn more about distress inks...

Supplies used:

1. Mustard Seeds DIstress ink
2. Tumbled Glass Distress Ink
3. Shabby Shutter Distress Ink
