Collect Beautiful Moments by Donna Gray

Hi everyone, 

Donna here today with a quick and easy card for you all using just Distress inks for the colouring.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

What To Do:

 
Use a piece of Strathmore Mixed Media paper for this as you will be flicking/spraying water on it.
 
Stamp the image from Prima with black Archival ink. In the centre blend Salty Ocean Distress ink, then radiating out blend in Vintage Photo Distress ink.
 
Either flick some water with your fingers or from the spray bottle, wait a few seconds and then dab a piece of kitchen roll on the surface to lift some of the ink off for the blotched effect you see here.
 
Stamp an image from a Carabelle set on separate white card, cut out and adhere to the left of the main image.
 
Add a Tim Holtz sentiment (doodle around it and colour with some of the Vintage Photo), distress the edges of the mixed media paper with the distresser tool, then ink around those edges with some more Vintage Photo to remove any white paper that’s showing.
 
Mount onto card stock and there you have a simple but effective card.
 
I tend to forget how truly brilliant those Distress inks are at times for their speed and versatility ;)
 
 

Supplies Used:

 

Distress InksSalty Ocean and Vintage Photo

 
 
Hope you like it

  9. Not sure how "grunge" and "stunning" can go together so well, but they certainly do so here! Beautiful work, Donna!
