The sweet pea stampers: distress to the max


It's time for another challenge on the Sweet pea stampers blog: distress to the max - please click here to see the wonderful crafting of the rest of the team and we would love to see you take part in our challenge.

For my design card I used a digital image by Karen Middleton called 'butterfly yellow'. I used a variety of grey spectrum noir pens to colour the image, tore round it and brushed first with squeezed lemonade distress ink and then mustard seed. I then spritzed the whole image so that it looked more distressed. The background card is from the everyday collection of Core Impressions by Jenni Bowlin by Core-dinations sanded to reveal the yellow core.The strip of script paper is from 'fair skies' by Farm House paper company, again torn and inked, with a piece of Tim Holtz tissue tape down the middle. The flowers were from Hobbycraft and I brushed them with mustard seed DI.

  22. You are a true artist. It is so difficult to color in the gray spectrum and have it look this natural. Your sense of style and color is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this inspiration with us at Red Rubber Designs.
