Addicted to CAS #58 - Distress

 

A card for Addicted to CAS 

Speaking of addicted, I am addicted to using clear Wink of Stella as the water with Distress Inks.

This is the 4th of the Botanical Blocks from PTI using Distress Inks, Mowed Lawn, Dusty Concorde, Seedless Preserves and Picked Raspberry.  These sets of flower blocks is perfect for this technique.

Sentiment is Swoosh from PTI 

Love the sparkles which are hard to see here.

A card for Addicted to Stamps & More 

I used a technique from Jennifer McGuire which you can access Here 

Using Distress pens and Wink of Stella as the water which gives it this really cool sparkly effect, which is hard to see in the picture.  She even tells you how to get more out of your Wink of Stella pens by putting water in them after it is almost empty.
