The theme for The Virtual Crafting Challenge this month, is ‘D’. For those of you looking to get started in Distressing techniques with paper, this series is all about my favorite tools for creating Distressed looks.
Before I started using paints to distress things, I used ink. Here are a couple of my favorite inks for distressing.
Alcohol Ink
Alcohol Inks & Accessories
Alcohol Ink
This is perfect for distressing/aging and otherwise altering
Metal, Glass and plastic.
I use this on embellishments like clips and shiny surfaces.
Adirondack Dye Ink
Adirondack ink by Ranger
Adirondack Dye Ink
Great for distressing on card and paper. Although I should add that I use Espresso, Terracotta and Latte rather than Pink Sherbert!!!
Apply with Ranger Cut n Dry foam, for an airbrushed aged effect.
Check out my Tutorials page for more information and inspiration for distressing paper and card.
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon
