Distress Inks and Watercolor

I got some new Ranger distress inks for Christmas.  Today I played with

them a little.  I ran the ink on the inside of an embossing folder and then misted it with water.

I put watercolor paper in the folder and ran it through my Cuttlebug.  

I like how it turned out.  I also stamped distress ink on my heart stamp and then misted it

with water before I stamped it.

These will go in my next box for Operation Write Home.

2 Step Stamping

The other day, my friend Cindy made a card using a 2 step stamping set.

While talking to her on the phone, I realized I had the same set and never used it.

Cindy taught me how to do the two time steps and how to use my

Stamp-a-ma-jig.  I have had that thing for years and it has never been

out of the package.  Well, hooray for me, I got it out and used it

and now I love it.

All the flowers on these three cards have been double stamped.

I used all the stamps in the set and made multiples of these 3 cards for my next

box to Operation Write Home.

Thanks Cindy!
