I love distress! To me it immediately says Distress Inks - and now Stains too...which I got a few of at the weekend at the Ally Pally show. So when Simon Says Stamp and Show 'distress' this week - easy peasy lemon squeezy!
So tonight I had a chance to play a bit - took a tag (for a change, lol!) and antique linen which I covered the tag with, then streaked some wild honey down .
Used my new coffee archival ink pad (can you believe I've never had one till now....?) and stamped the Wendy dictionary stamp. Back to wild honey distress - ink this time - for the flowers
I had some leftover patterned paper covered grungepaper from a secret project I can't show you yet which I used for the butterflies and the sentiment was stamped on a scrap of tag covered with wild honey distress stain.
Edged the tag with walnut stain ink (please tell me why I didn't buy this in distress stain at Ally Pally???)
All stamps today are Wendy's.
Pop over to Simon Says to catch some gorgeous art and have a go - there is a prize on offer, what have you got to lose?
