Distressed Dots ...

I mentioned earlier that I have been trying out some new techniques (new to me!) and I even managed to complete a card using one of them.  The circles were made by inking a solid stamp with two shades of distress ink (one all over and the other just round the edge) then spritzing with water.  I think it creates an interesting effect although I do need to practise more.


I used:

 Distress Inks - Spiced Marmalade, Scattered Straw, Mustard Seed, Festive Berries
Versafine - Onyx Black
Simon Says Stamp - Lots of Dots stamp set
Clearly Besotted - Dandelion Dreams
Random Flower stamps (no packaging so no idea where they are from!)

 I am going to enter the following challenges:

 Enjoy!

    I love your fun and funky watercolored flowers, Elaine! You did a great job with that technique! That "wish big" circle looks like a setting sun!! Hugs, Darnell

    I love how you inked your circles (I think it's called the 'Rock n' Roll' technique), and the color combo is so pretty, Love your sentiment, too! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!
