Cards by Theresa








This is such a fun technique and you can use any dye based ink (Ranger Distress, Memento, Stampin' Up, My Favorite Things, etc) to do the inking. You can use distress tools and foam pads or make-up sponges or direct to paper with the ink pads.

Give this one a try, you won't be disappointed.
