This month Wplus9 Design team is featuring Distress Inks. I’ve been a fan of Distress Inks for a couple of months now. They are rich and make the perfect impression of a “distressed” look when stamping. For this card I used Tim Holtz’s Walnut Stain Distress Ink. It’s a rich dark brown and I just love the effect it creates. It really pops on darker card stocks too.
I started with a Terracotta Tile (PTI) card stock base and cut a corresponding panel for the focal piece about 1/2″ shorter to add some depth. I stamped the some leaves from the Season of Thanks stamp set with my distress ink all over the focal piece. I then added some brown gingham fabric tape to create a messy top border.
I cut another piece of Terracotta Tile card stock with a My Favorite Things die for the sentiment – and used more of my distress ink to stamp the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment from Season of Thanks. I just love this font…absolutely stunning! Finally, added a yellow button and some twine with some glue dots to balance out the final piece.
