I decided today that I needed to experiment with the TH distress inks and grunge paper that I recently bought. I also wanted to use some of the fab papers from TH that I have in my stash……….. as well as the fab new collection of stamps from PaperArtsy.
This is the result ……. what do you think ??????????
I did not use any backing papers behind the central panel, instead I distressed the paper with Distress Inks and then stamped a complimenting image all over in distress and momento inks.
The central panel was distressed around the edges and stamped with Momento ink.
The back and inside of the card was also distressed and another central panel added with a verse.
I made my flower from TH Grunge paper, using the Sizzex tattered florals dies, and then coloured with distress inks.. …… (NOT A SINGLE PROMARKER IN SIGHT !!!!) lol
I added a small stick pin for some bling.
