This weeks (PoW) Product of the week for the BLOG WAR is Distress Inks.

I just love Distress Inks & I am slowly building my colour collection. Kaszazz sell 24 colours. Bright colour options are perfect for the new vintage, stained aged effects in altered books, scrapbook pages, cards & paper projects!

Distress Inks are acid free, non-toxic, fade resistant, water based dye inks & have been specially formulated to give an aged, weathered look to papers, photos & more!

To create this layout I used one piece of each Flirty Bazzill Bling & Essentials White. I stamped “Long Stemmed Daisies” across the bottom of the white with Perfect Medium & embossed it with clear embossing powder. With “Dusty Concord” Distress Ink I distressed over the daisies using a blending tool until I was happy with the shading of the resist technique. Tore across the page over the top of the daisies then adhered it to the base page. I stamped the daisies with the dusty concord onto white & then punched out 5 butterflies & distressed their edges. I stamped all other images on the page in dusty concord. Punched around the white matting for the photo & finished with a little icestickles on the base Flirty Bazzill Bling. 

With this layout I tore a scrap piece of paper to create a mask. I literally then grabbed my Aged Mahogany Distress Ink Pad & smeared it from the piece of paper (which I had positioned) over the edge of a piece of ivory 12 x 12 to create the border for this layout. So easy!!! Weathered Wood Distress Ink is the other colour I used on this page. The red matting for the photo is pomegranate from the latest SB Essentials range.

This picture is of Becky & myself while we were away at Coobowie last weekend by the jetty at Wool Bay.

The layout below I created using the following products: Jetstream & Limeade Bazzill Basics, Essentials white, Faded Jeans Distress Ink, Stamps – Swirl Frames, Chalk Small Bubble, Soccer & Carnival Alphabet.

Again…. I created the border around the layout by just grabbing my Faded Jeans Distress Ink Pad (down the right hand side) dragging it off the edge of the page & around the page stamping the ink pad over the edge of the layout. This is a great layout for a Beginner Scrapbooker to create. If you have any questions, please ask. I can order any of these Kaszazz products for you. Please contact me if you would like to place an order.
