Introducing Distress Markers

Good evening, and I must just say Hello to our new blog follower. It is always great to see new people.

Today's workshop was all about Distress markers and how to use them ..

This first card was made by using spiced marmalade distress ink and the honeycomb background stamped directly onto the card blank. A combination of five distressed markers were used to 'colour' the sunflower stamp (from IndigoBlu) a quick huff and then image stamped....

The sentiment is from the new Rocco stamp plate and the gorgeous dragonfly is from Live, Laugh, Love set of stamps. Ribbon, twine and a button finish off the design.

This second card was made by stamping the sunflower with Black Versafine ink and then using the distress markers to simply colour the image. The centre was stamped a second time, coloured in, cut out and then decoupaged on top. The corners of the card was stamped in the same way as the main image in the first card. Card and ribbon were added to add another layer.

As usual I had a brilliant afternoon of craft, good fun and chatting with very good friends.

See you all soon.
