Distressing Inks...
... For Some Fabulous Effects
Use these distressing inks in a variety of ways ... from aging to colouring in.
You will find videos on how to use these inks to colour in skin, hair and clothes in the

This is my personal choice of inks and there is a vast range of colours in the Tim Holtz collection.
They can be used in a number of ways and because they are reactive with water some fabulous results can be created when you play.
Adding more water can dilute the inks to more pastel shades, which is good for skin tones.
Or try making your own
Distressed Papers
Mat and Layer
and add them to your cards.
Use them with your stamps to create an image that matches your colour scheme.And they are an excellent choice if you intend to colour the image with Promarkers, Copics or Spectrum Noir pens.
Dab the colours from the ink pad directly onto a white ceramic tile and make your very own palette.Add a little water and mix it with the inks on the tile to produce a paler colour. Blend them as you need and when you have finished just leave the colours to dry. They can be re-activated again for another use on another day, making them very cost effective.
Why not make some
Blending Tools,
for some colourful effects.
Blend the ink in from the edges of the card, and use one or two colours for another effect.
Here is another idea for your Inks and especially good for male cards.
This
Faux Wood Effect
is very easy to do. Another way to make the most of these is when you want to create a background. You can do this very easily if you combine them with
Masks
There are new colours being added to the Tim Holtz range regularly. They are a truly versatile medium for the Cardmaker....new or seasoned. So my best advice is to play with the distressing inks and see what you can create for yourself.
