7x7"card blank & card layer slightly smaller

Brayer

HOW TO MAKE:

I personally love the grungy look but I know most will think it is a messy way to craft...

Well it doesn't have to be.

Here is an easy, mess free way to get the grunge look with no fuss!

Firstly stamp a border around the edge of your card mat using the linked squares long stamp in black versafine

Build up a scene using the butterfly and other decorative stamps on the set

I used the creativity words to add a sentiment

Right here comes the fun part...

Using a brayer and oxide inks you can now grunge it up!

Simply roll the brayer onto the ink pad(s) and roller on top of your design. Go from top to bottom and side to side. Mix it up til you get a look you like.

You don't have to fully cover the design, it's personal preference.

I used a distressing tool to fray the edges which adds to the overall effect

Then on my card blank I inked the border with black soot to tie in with the theme.

That's it!

Hope you like

https://www.beecrafty.net/tim-holtz-distress-ink-oxides.irc

White gesso

Versafine onyx black

HOW I MADE:

First drag the distress ink pad over a sheet of card to create a background base.

use the different colours to create something that looks similar to the picture above.

Then using the under construction stamps start stamping, in black versafine, a design onto your background using the various texture,tyres,signs etc... this can be done in any style you prefer.

Then what I did to push back the intensity of the background-color and black of the stamped images was roller with a breyer some white gesso over the top. It gives a cool distressed look.

to finish I then stamped over the top with the main under construction image and using one of the texture discs inked through with twisted Citron distress oxide.

And that's how it's done!

Hope you like.

Distress inks/oxides

HOW TO MAKE:

First using the horizon 1 skyline I inked a border on my card panel using broken China distress oxide.

Then I took the brick wall D'Inkable and vintage photo distress ink to add some flat texture/interest to the background.

I next stamped the butterfly in peacock feathers oxide. I like the broken distress look using this ink.

Then using versafine onyx black I stamped the dragonfly onto my card panel at an angle and also onto a separate sheet of white card. I then heat embossed this in clear.
