Farnborough fun and playing with Distress inks

Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a good Weekend, mine has been fab so far! I spent yesterday at the Make it show in Farnborough and did 2 stints doing demos on the Ali Craft stand showing the lovely Crafters how to use these brushes for blending and stencilling with Distress ink. I had never used the before yesterday and they are so easy to use for blending the inks and creating backgrounds! I had so much fun chatting to all the lovely Ladies who came to see what I was doing and met up with some of my Friends for lunch and coffee. I will be back on the Ali-Craft stand today at 10.30am and 2pm not sure yet what I will be demoing as the brushes sold out yesterday!


I made the card I am sharing today a few weeks ago and realised last night I hadn't put it on my blog yet. I used Distress stains and inks to create the background and then stamped with Archival ink and   Distress inks to create the topper with Tim Holtz stamps.


The cogs were cut with Spellbinders Sprockets dies and the backing paper is by Graphic 45 and I added some metal bits and pieces which I bought from Ali-Craft at the Sandown Show.
I hope you have a lovely Sunday!
