I’ve been itching to get my hands on the new Distress Paints and
so once I finally did, I knew right away I wanted to use them with Inchie Arts
Art Squares. Because the Art Squares are
sturdy matboard, they work great with very wet media, like paint.
Here’s how I created this look. I began by inking my Penny Black brushstroke
stamps by dabbing the Distress Paint directly onto the stamp. Then I simply stamped it onto a white ATC
size Art Square.
Once the paint was dry, I added Distress
Ink in the colors of Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy to the Art Square using
an ink blending tool.
Finally, I inked a background stamp with
Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink, removed some ink from the stamp by wiping it
with a baby wipe randomly, and then stamped onto the Art Square.
I created the notecard backgrounds using
the Distress Paint as well. I colored
with the paints onto my craft mat and pressed watercolor paper onto the craft
mat, swirling and patting the paper into the ink. Once the paper was covered, I also sprayed
the background with water using a mini mister so the colors blended even more.
