Learning New Things IS Fun

The other night I was home with my youngest daughter, after we had a mommy and daughter night complete with a movie and pizza. She went off to bed. I had a few hours of quiet left before my husband and the older two kids came home. I decided to try using my distress inks for more than just edging cards. I went to my trusted friend: YouTube for suggestions.  I found a great tutorial by Tim Holtz that showed several different methods using the in pads and tags. So, I decided I was going to try one. Then his video finished and over to the right a beautiful tag caught my eye. I clicked the link and watched the tutorial. I decided to try  that one instead. Here is my finished work. It includes: distressing, embossing and layering flowers with distressed edges. 


Finished Card: Tim Holtz Seedless Preserves and Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink, embossed with white cats eye ink and CTMH embossing powder.
