A set of tags

Hi!

I am back again. Today I want to share a set of tags that I made with distress inks. These days I am going crazy over distressing and embossing. Here I have used only distressing technique.

Each is of the size 3 x 1.5 inches. I got so addicted to distressing that I even inked the tiny flowers. I embossed these on the inkessential's blending foam with my embossing pen (again a RAK from Hussena!). Since foams already had leftover inks so their edges got inked while embossing :D
A different view.

Welcome 2012 - A new year!

Hello!

How is everyone doing? I am enjoying the 1st morning of this new year and hoping that it will be the best one for me in every sense.. and wishes the same for you..!
With this new year, I wanna share few mini cards that I made with distress inks and heat embossing.. This is my 1st try on these and I am so loving these techniques.. In the next few posts, I will share my embossing and distressed projects only.. :)

I did the heat embossing on a frying pan .. :D I heated the frying pan on a medium flame and rotated the paper at a level above it... within seconds the embossing powder melted.. :) so when I say I am in kitchen doesn't mean that I am cooking!! I might be crafting..!! ;) 

Individual pictures of the mini cards. Distress ink used: Faded jeans blue

This one is made with Barn door shade of distress ink

3rd one is made with Wild honey ink.

I could have go on but Alas! I have only 3 distress inks.. :(

The butterfly stamp is from Hero arts Antique graving stamp set. The sentiment is from Penny black. Black cardstock is a local buy and the distressing is done on white Brustro painting paper.

Also, on public demand, sharing a picture of my latest goodies I shopped at Joann's on thanksgiving.
