Vintage and Distressed with Technique Junkies

Hello Everyone,
We are getting lots of snow today here in Michigan.  Good thing I don't have to go anywhere.  LOL  I will just fire up my new gas fireplace and enjoy the pretty snow.
Today, I wanted to share two projects that are very distressed and on the vintage side made with Technique Junkie Stamps  .  There are two versions using the same large collage stamp from the Palettini Stamps collection.   The look was changed on each project by varying the way the stamp was inked  --  Distress Markers on the first and two colors of Archival ink on the second.



Card #1

Stamps for both projects:
London Eye, Have Wings (sentiment) and ATC Keep Your Balance all from Technique Junkies

 Make It:

• Make a card base from White Crinkle Paper
• Tear a layer of gray Crinkle Paper and ink the edges with Black Soot Distress ink

• Ink the stamp with Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone, and Black Soot Distress Markers and stamp on White CS and tear edges
• Ink the edges with Stormy Sky  Distress ink
• Stamp Sentiment with Black Soot ink

Card #2

• Make a card base from Navy CS and add a layer of black CS
• Ink the stamp with Jet Black and Cobalt Archival inks--make sure to get the black ink on the scroll areas
• Add to card base

• Stamp the sentiment with Black ink on White CS and cut out
• Add to card

Oh, it is really fun to see how you can get different looks by changing the way you ink the stamp.  I especially wanted to highlight the scroll areas on the stamp with the darker ink.
