I poke around Pinterest, like most of you, for inspiration and relaxation. Last week, I spotted this picture of painted rocks:
Aren't they beautiful? I'm like a crafting squirrel....as soon as I see something beautiful, I want to make it. Right. Now.
But, I've been learning some very important lessons lately about working with what I have, from where I am. It's all about following instead of knowing. So, I decided to follow vs know and began to play with what I have.
What I had is this beautiful Sand Dollar background and a mess of Ranger Distress Stains.I pulled out the tried and true Non-stick Color technique and got on
it! The two earth tone prints are from the same application of ink.
Specifically, I was using Ranger Ink Distress Stains. The two blue
cards vary in that I used the stains directly to the stamp surface. One
also has a spray of water to blend the inks--the other is just straight
ink to stamp to paper...Can you tell the difference?
Finally, I took all of this:
Don't forget to be awesome! TTFN, Jane
You are just the bomb girl. Love all that you do. I think I prefer the direct to stamp - how about you?
