Current Project Pictures!

Hey all! I've recently have been playing a lot with different distress techniques and I've been extremely inspired by all the many beautiful and unique designs you can make using the Tim Holtz distress ink. There is so much versatility with this ink that I was creating tag after tag after tag of different designs so finally I decided, shoot, I should just make a whole mini album using as much ink and different techniques as possible.

So today I wanted to show you my progress with this very colorful, stamped, embossed, and inked up mini! It's a 6x6 album using chipboard as the base. Because I wanted to highlight the distressed element of the mini, I used a lot of white cardstock, white glossy paper, and white tags (which of course aren't white anymore! lol) However, I did use We Are Memory Keepers Anthrologie paper pad for the base which I altered with a lot of distress inks to match the colors I wanted. It is soooo FUN!

Here are some of the pictures of my progress and if you'd like to see the video on this album explaining a few of the different techniques - here is the link:)
