A LITTLE DISTRESSED

I've never really experimented with distress inks before but just bought a couple from Tim Holtz so here is my first attempt.  This is not perfect so be nice!


I did struggle a to get an even tone and not to harsh on the outer edges but it didn't really work for me.  I used a craft mat to help ease the blending tool over the card but I definitely need more practice with this I think!


However, I do like the finished card but it could certainly be better.  The sentiment I used is from PTI and the inks used were Brushed Corduroy &  Frayed Burlap.

Until next time...

    Hola Zoe, fantastic distress!!!, i think is not to much easy distress, i need to practice, overcoat the backgounds with 3-4 colours, but your card is gorgeous, the flowers and the pin are a perfect touch, great work...
