This final attempt with the distress inks is getting a little lighter on the colour but I still want to get more of a washed out look so I will continue to practice. I'll keep you updated on my progress and of course any feedback you can give me is greatly appreciated. I am loving doing all the flowers and "girly" stuff since I am usually scrap booking for boys!! What a treat to work with all the bling.
I love this technique - thanks for the play-date and tutorial!! This is a fabulous card and layout - can't wait to try more. Your cards are gorgeous!

Not sure why you want your colors to be lighter; I think they are great. Very pretty.

ReplyDeleteYou're doing a beautiful job with your distress coloring! Why are you wanting your colors lighter? You need some contrast to give them depth! It's such a pretty card....

Hi Dawn, your distress ink cards are looking great! I'm with you on the cheerful, bright colors although I do really appreciate the softer side of the European designers. I've also fallen in love with bolder distress inkers like Chelsea or April, and a dozen others. :)
ReplyDeleteOf course, I'm still stuck on my Prismacolor pencils and only a distress ink voyeur! haha!
Thanks for entering my blog candy and spreading the word. I've really enjoyed my visit here, and definitely look forward to more!
Cheers,
