ATCAS #58 - Distress


Wow we had great entries for our last ATCAS challenge - thanks so much for playing! This challenge is brought to you by our fabulous team leader and owner of the ATCAS challenge, Kylie!  Kylie has chosen the code word: DISTRESS


Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is Uniko Studio:


Please go to the ATCAS Challenge Blog for information on the prize details and to see all of the inspiration from the design team and our guest designer Ellen.

I used Distress inks and an ink blending tool and blended the inks onto white card stock.  I sprayed a flower petal die cut with water and put it onto the inked panel which removes some of the ink and leaves a "ghost" image. I then cut out a white panel with Simon Says Stamp (SSS) stitched rectangle die and then a circle with a SSS stitched circle die.  After adhering the inked panel onto the card front I adhered the white panel with foam tape over the inked panel.  I then placed the Memory Box die cut flowers over the aperture.  The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti.

Thanks for coming by!

  13. A beautiful card! I love the simplicity yet effectiveness of the background - and will try to remember that technique of ghost-stamping. And the Memory Box die is gorgeous and the stitched panels so perfect! TFS
