Playing with Distress Inks

It seems that Ranger Distress Inks are now the poor relation to Ranger Distress Oxide Inks. I love them both.  So time to get out the Distress Inks and use them in cards for today's classes. 

Take any embossing folder and apply distress inks in a random manner. As you can see the embossed layer is smaller than the black mat behind it - intentionally.  As, after you have finishing the inking you cut that panel on an angle and place onto the black mat.  In the space between, I have applied a happy birthday die cut that I coloured with one of the Distress Inks.  A few drops of pearls (or rhinestones) complete the card.  
Whilst I had the inks out I also played around with applying the Ranger Distress Ink through a stencil and then attaching a die cut and greet.   All products are Kaszazz and Crafters Companion (some retired product).  A great way to use up scraps from your creating. So quick and easy with great results.   

Thank you for looking, Margaret.

January Cyberchallenge - punched flowers.

Image
Images:(c)1990-2010 Stampin'Up(r) Artwork:Margaret L Crawford Our INKlings cyberchallenges have began for 2010. Tonight our leader, Jayne is setting the challenges. Our first challenge is to use SU punches to make a paper flower and use it on a card, scrapbook page or 3D item. I have used the round scallop punch (each flower has 3 punched scallops), cut a small way into each scallop and then pushed back to create a 3-D effect then I added a rhinestone brad to the centre of each flower. I used my markers to colour the leaves and then spritzed with water before adding to card. Challenge 1 completed.

Time stands still

Here is another layout I have created recently.  I have decided to post it for a challenge at ARTastic - I hope they allow more than one entry as I have already done one layout for their May challenge - Scrap the Girls. This photo was taken when I met up with friends that I attended TAFE with many years ago.  We completed the Advanced Needlecraft Certificate at Hornsby TAFE and became firm friends during this time.   But as life goes on we lost contact - until Facebook got us back together 20 years later!..  They caught the train up and we had lunch and much catch up at my home before a walk on the beach.   Again here is the inspiration photo at ARTastic, the criteria Girls Only. I was further inspired by a layout by Emily Pitt found on   Debbie Hodge  from 2013 that I found whilst blog surfing. Thank you Debbie I have left some thanks for you on your blog. Thank you for looking, Margaret.
