More experimenting - this time with some distress inks and dies. I don't have many distress inks and to be honest very rarely use them but I can see from other blogs that they are very popular so I decided to have a play. I watched some videos on You Tube and just messed around a bit and I was quite pleased with the results although the one on the left is a bit gaudy. I actually used one of the hearts on a card I made the other day. I will keep practicing and see what else I come up with. If you pop over to Julia's blog you can hop around and see other people's desk - I can guarantee it is very addictive.
That's it from me for today, my husband's grandchildren are coming over and as it is a miserable day I don't think we'll be going out so it will be Mario on the Wii and card making with Emma - lovely!
Take care x

Looks like you had fun experimenting. I am of no help to you though. :) I use matte medium for gluing. :)
I love just playing and experimenting, some of the nicest things seem to happen then.
Happy WOYWW
I'm new to using distress inks as well but they are very addictive. Happy WOYWW! Mel x18
I LIKE the gaudy piece - I only started using DIs once they arrived in proper colours! I use loads of different glues..mostly for glitter I do Use Glossy accents becuase it dries in dimension which really adds a lift to the glitter. But I rarely cver a whole piece of anything with glitter. I forget!!
Hi Susan
oh lovely creative desk, luv all the sparkle, thanks for the mooch happy WOYWW, sue,x
I love my Distressing inks and let us all know what you find works best glueing glitter! Good luck with that. Happy WOYWW!
Lovely bits and bobs. Have fun with the inks!

Glitter can be difficult to stick, have you tried WOW embosssing glitter? It is a fab product and really does stay on the paper with no shedding!
This is my first visit to your super blog, I found you via WOYWW, I will be back next week to see what else you have been upto!

Hi, I like what's on your desk and your glue/glitter experiments are interesting. I usually use a glue pen - the kind where the glue comes out blue but dries clear - and this is fine for small areas. I've also used DS tape to make strips of glitter on a card but I've never tried to cover a large area with glitter. Your distressed hearts are lovely - like the bright piece too - I'm with Julia, it's great that TH has started to bring us the brighter colours. Elizabeth x #51
