Today I will be sharing with you how I distress my cards and the differnt looks you can get from using three distress inks.
These are the different types of distressing tools that I use to create my projects and cards. You can see me use these in my video.
Here you can see several ways to add ink to your projects. The first is an Ink Blusher Sponge. Then a Fingertip Sponger Dauber. Next is my favorite--a cotton ball. I like the overall smooth results from the cotton ball and when I am done I just throw it away. The next one is a Stencil Sponge. Then the Mesh Dauber--this is a fun one to use--it adds great texture and has more of a grunge look. The last one is the Color Duster--this is good for adding a soft texture.
Here are the color inks that I used to distress my cards:
The first label has the sentiment stamped on it and no distressing. On the next three labels you can see how adding the different colors of distress ink and layering the inks can change the look of the labels. For the first label this is a simple distress--add one color of ink to the inside edges of the die template. Here I used Antique Linen Distress Ink. For the second label use the Antique Linen ink to ink the inside edges just like the first label and then apply the Vintage Photo ink to the outer edge of the label. This will have more of a vintage look. For the third label follow the same steps as the second label. Then add the Walnut Stain ink to the outer edge of the label to create a distressed burnt edge look.
These are the backgrounds and I did the same distress techniques with the inks that I did on the labels.
Here is my card without any distress ink:

My card with Antique Linen Distress Ink and Vintage Photo - now a more Vintage look:
