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.

Cheers, Tina

These are the cards I created for my Partner Mick & Father In-law for Fathers Day. Please note I have used both Kaszazz & Non-Kaszazz products for these cards.

I will be back tomorrow to post my “Distress Ink Blog War” creations I put together today. I’ve created 3 12 x 12 scrapbook pages, just need to add some piccies!

Cheers, Tina

This is my last post for the week. We are off on a family break this weekend to Coobowie on Yorke Peninsula. The kids have tomorrow off of school for the Royal Adelaide Show & Monday off as well for a teacher development day. A great opportunity to take off. Fingers crossed it doesn’t rain all weekend, it’s not looking too promising at the moment. I’m hoping to get some lovely photo’s to complete my album I created in Deb Hale’s Workshop she ran at our Getaway last weekend. I have included a picture of Deb’s album in the pictures below. All the pictures below are from our Creative Getaway, great creations & projects from the girls who attended. I have numbered some of them so you can all let me know which one’s are your favourites.

To all the DAD’s out there. I wish you a very relaxing & Happy Fathers Day for Sunday. Enjoy yourselves!!!

More creations to show you later, will post more next week.

Wishing you all a great weekend & GOOD LUCK Naomi with your Studio Opening xx

Cheers, Tina
