STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday...Playing with Distress Mini Ink Kits


Hello,

Welcome to my second STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday post.

This go-round, I decided to re-visit Distress Inks...in their 'mini kit' forms (which was my introduction to distress inks, when I finally realized I 'needed' to have some). I figured the incredibly creative Mr. Holtz must have had a reason for combining the four inks into sets, so I set about to see if my theory was correct.  Turns out: he did! 

My first card uses Distress Mini Ink Kit #10  (Tattered Rose, Squeezed Lemonade, Iced Spruce, Bundled Sage) which I paired with the Flourishes Stencil to make the two cards you see below. I'm having a 'crush-fest' with deep kraft cardstock, of late *grin*

For my second card, I reached for Distress Mini Ink Kit #11 (Shabby Shutters, Festive Berries, Tea Dye, Milled Lavender) and the Fairy Tale Forest Stencil.  I added a cardstock 'forest' frame and the 'wish' sentiment because 'fairy tales' really are all about wishes coming true, aren't they!


STAMPlorations Products:


Distress Mini Ink Kit #12 (Brushed Corduroy, Chipped Sapphire, Aged Mahogany, Pine Needles) was my third choice and what a wonderful combination to use with one of my all-time favourite stencils - Stained Glass!  Two cards emerged...

Hope my 'clean and simple' style does justice to these laden-with-possibilities stencils!
