Hi everyone, Nancy here today to share why I love Distress Inks. I know, I use distress inks a lot...they are really one of my favorite products. I seem to use them almost daily. Why? because I feel they add so much to my projects.
I was recently working on this layout of my son. The papers are beautiful, but they don't have much depth and in my option, and for my scrappy style, they don't blend together. They are beautiful, but......

Tim Holtz Kraft Resist paper, Authentique patterned papers |
So, I used my foam inking tool and a few different colors of distress ink in blues and browns and came up with this.

Tim Holtz Kraft Resist paper, Authentique patterned papers, Basic Grey alphabet, Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and Tag. Custom dyed seam binding |
Now the colors blend seamlessly. I was also able to add a quick swipe of ink over some naked chipboard to blend it into the layout. I also added a bit of ink, as well as some Tattered Angels Glimmer mist to my tag to blend it in as well.
I really like the inked layout so much better. That said, my dh...he likes the one without the ink. I guess it takes all kinds. So....which do you like better?
Nancy
