Playing with Distress Inks

I have recently discovered Distress Inks and am loving playing around with them. I was looking at Pinterest for different colour combinations and this one seemed bright and fun, seeing as i am looking in to making a few Birthday cards it seems a good choice. The stamps used i got as a free gift from Papercrafter magazine and they were a good excuse to play as i have been looking at purchasing some Lavinia stamps so it was a good excuse to play. Initially i was going to stick the blended image straight on to the white card stock but in the end mounted it on black first and think it looks much better.

Items Used

White 280gsm Card stock for base

Neenah white card stock for ink blending and image

Stamps - Free with Papercrafter magazine

Black Ink - Momento Tuxedo Black

Distress Inks - Wild Honey, Picked Raspberry & Wilted Violet

Rose Card Birthday Card

My youngest Niece is turning 8 soon and i needed to come up with some Birthday card ideas for her. She loves Unicorns and last year i made her a card with them but using rainbow colours. For this card i thought i would try something different and i live the end result. I recently purchased a mixed Rose Gold card stock pack and the colour is fantastic, i really love it.I used the glitter card stock and the pearlescent cardstock and i really love the effect.

Apologies, the card didn't photograph well so its hard to see how glittery the end result it.

White 280gsm Card stock

Simple and Sparkly Christmas

I recently brought a mixed pack of silver card and was itching to make a card with them. The pack contains glitter card, pearlescent card and mirror card and i thought these would be prefect for a Christmas card. I spend ages on Pinterest trying to get ideas but this one was simple and came together by itself,  but i think it came out pretty effective.

Items used:

White card stock 280gsm for base
Glitter & Pearlescent silver card by Crafters Choice
Reindeer Die - Uniquely Creative Geometric Deer
White card 210gsm for sentiment
Sentiment Die - Kaisercraft i think
Double sided tape
