This month at Craft Club we did a master class in distress. Never seen this technique before so I was keen to have a go.
Here is what I came home with.
Tap a few distress colours on an acrylic block and lightly spritz with water.Turn over, place on some card and press down to distribute the ink around the block on the card.
Remove block carefully and blot with kitchen towel if required.
When dry stamp a silhouette image using archival ink.
I have made up a few cards with my results. Gotta love that poppy stamp! Said she who isn't really a stamper - Oops!

Hi
Just to let you know that the poppy stamp is one from Lavinia stamps. "Wild Poppies"
www.laviniastamps.com
They do lots of silhouette stamps - great with distress inks.
These distress prints are so pretty.

Wow I didn't know about this technique either, I will have to give it a go, did you use plain card stock or glossy for this one?
This is now the 3rd link on your blog that I have gone too, what an amazing blog you have thank you for sharing.
