Say it with…distressing

Posted by on August 19, 2011 in Annabelle Stamps | 14 comments

Hi everyone,

This week’s challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps  is distressing. Not what I normally do, so I did find it a little bit of a challenge, but I still managed to create a CAS card.  I used distress inks to create the sunset scene (I love to do this) and then distressed the edges with my scissors (something that I don’t do often). I also flicked some water onto the background to add to the distressed feel. I stamped the images from the Dotted Flowers stamp set and then coloured them in with a black felt pen to create a silhouette image.

Supplies:

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps “Dotted Flowers
Ink: Versafine Ink – Onyx Black, Tim Holtz Distress inks – Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Barn Door
Card: Regal Craft Card (White textured single fold), X-Press It Blending card
Other Supplies: Foam dimensionals, black felt pen, white DMC floss, S.E.I button, scissors (for distressing), blending tool

Hope that you can play along. The winner will receive a special blinkie and a little something from the AnnaBelle store. And don’t forget that you still have time to win the Squared Posies stamp set from the blog hop on Tuesday – it’s open to everyone, so why not add your name? Go here for the details.

Until next time,

Marion
