Today, I thought I would share with you a layout of my daughter, and a quick tutorial using Distress Inks. I have had the new Webster's Pages sitting on my desk, waiting for the perfect photos to use some with. I came across a new challenge site on Ning, saw the color scheme and new exactly what I wanted to do.
The colors were perfect with her outfit, and the Prima flowers really helped brighten the soft papers.
Flamingo Scraps products: Webster's Pages: Lullaby Collection, Dreamland. Prima Marketing Flowers: Symphony Blend, Calcutta Blue, Calcutta Mini's Porcelain, Mini Roses, E-line Bling, Pebbles. Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Mustard Seed, Spun Sugar.
I made the two inky blocks with distress inks, white acrylic paint, and a couple of stamps.
I started with painting my stamps with the acrylic paint.
I then stamped the image onto my cardstock block.
I know, it is hard to see, but trust me, it is there.
I then began layering the distress inks onto the paper. I started with the lighter colors and worked my way darker, going back to add bits of other colors as needed, till I got the look I wanted.
You can see the the paint resisted the distress ink. I took a slightly damp paper towel and wiped the surface to remove any excess ink from the stamped image and....
Give it a try. I know you have some stamps and acrylic paint lying around.
Have a great weekend!
Hugs.
