It's Monday again ! Time to get grungy. This week for the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge we are to use distress powders. I have used broken china, weathered wood, tea dye,old paper and black soot distress powders and ink. I also used the Sizzix patchwork folder and Baroque die. I will embellish this when I put it into my book. I am with Linda on loving distress embossing powder. I find the most important step when using it is to shake it up well just before you apply it. Thank you for looking !
Wow, girlfriend, you've outdone yourself! This is STUNNING!!! I love that you embossed this-- what a great way to add even more texture. And I'm happy to find someone who love the Distress Powder as much as I do!
ReplyDeleteGreat tip about shaking the jar!
Thank you for knocking my socks off again this week! You're a very talented artist!
Hugs,
Linda
Terrific, it looks fab. Thank you for the tip on the powder as have never used this sort before, so when I get mine I will remember what you have advised. Annette x
ReplyDeleteLove the colours, and the use of the Sizzix folder. Great texture. Yes, I always have to remind myself to shake the pot of powder.
