Whats on Your Workdesk? Wednesday #226

Well, I'm doing pretty well this is now my fourth WOYWW and this week I have some experiments to share with you. I tried various different techniques and combinations but basically they all consisted of distress inks on my stamp, spritz with water, stamp onto centura pearl card which was either spritz with water before or after stamping or both and some were stamped twice. These are the results;


This one was created the opposite way round, coloured a piece of card then stamped in water to remove the colour

They look a bit of a mess but after a bit of work they have been transformed into these:



The backgrounds were simply stamped in versafine over the top, I think I prefer the second version, but both have turned out OK for an experiment.

As you can see the butterfly from last week is still on my desk, I'll try and make something with it soon, it moves around from time to time but hasn't found a home yet.

Bye for now

    The 2nd one is my favourite too. I love what you can do with Distress Inks, they're just so versatile. Hugs. Pam#41

    They are really fab, Donna! I really love the last shot, that works well for me. I would never have said that the first pic showing your experiments would have turned out so well...but then I'm not a paper crafter so don't know how these things work!! I like the torn edges of the finished work too, the effect is great!

    The colors were pretty in the beginning steps, even though they didn't look like much. But then when you got done, they're just beautiful! They have an ethereal look about them.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier and for the kind comments.

    Happy Woyww,
