Craftober | Day 4: Distress Inks

Hi there, thank you for stopping by the blog today! It's Craftober Day 4 and the theme is Distress Inks.

The Distress Inks range by Tim Holtz are amazing, so many great colours, pigments, styles and techniques that you can have, do and create with them - it's amazing! Tim's recent Distress Oxide Range is gorgeous and with some great bright, vibrant colours - how could you not own them all?

Today I have used Tim Holtz's original Distress Inks in the colours: Picked Raspberry, Spice Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac and this is the card I've made this evening:





All materials used:
Black card stock
White card stock
Watercolour paper
Picked Raspberry Distress Ink

Peacock Feathers Distress Ink
Shaded Lilac Distress Ink

MFT Four Way Chevron Background Die
Black Sequins
Tombow Aqua Liquid Glue

I hope you guys liked this card, i love the colours and the vibrancy of it, especially against the darker, simple embellishments.

Simon Says Stamp - Shipping / Customs and Dispatch (UK)

I heard about Simon Says Stamp many years ago through Kristina Werner and Jennifer McGuire, both of whom worked, designed or were (and still are) affiliated to the brand - they've designed stamp sets for them, done projects for them, created videos with them and their products and they were always a brand that I thought I would never be able to get hold of because of where I was based location wise - which is in the UK. I took the plunge in making my first order with them back in December 2014 and ordered nearly $60 worth of merchandise, which probably doesn't seem that much based on the US dollar but for me it definitely was - the shipping for the item total exceeding $50 was $20 and this hadn't been added to the total yet! Since that order, I have not looked back, I buy products from Simon when they have flash sales, as the shipping is worth it, or once maybe every 6 months as I can't really afford to buy from them more than 3 or 4 times a year. When I do...

Happy New Year 2019!

A very Happy New Year to one and all! I hope that you have all had a splendid, restful Festive Season.  It has been quite a while since I posted on this blog, so I hope that you will forgive my absence for the most part of 2018. It has been a busy year and I have to be honest the desire to blog about craft has been less desired or fulfilling. Making and writing about craft simultaneously was not forthcoming with me - doing the two things separately was a lot more enjoyable. I tend to do a lot more making and enjoying the process rather than actually writing it down. But for 2019 I really want to get back to the grind again. Being able to make things and share them with you guys and also enjoy doing the two processes together is something I really want to get back to. I have been creative - though not blogging - YouTube have given me a sense of putting content out even if it isn't in writing form, but also doing Design Team work for Die Cutting Essentials Magazine, which ...
