Using Supplies on Hand #2

Hello Friends!  When 2019 rolled around, I looked around my craft room and said "I won't ever be able to use all these goodies before I expire."  So, I put myself on a "No Buy" for the year, with a small stipulation that if it was consumable (glue, pop dots, etc) I would be able to purchase them, and excluding Halloween goodies in moderation. (I can't resist!)  So far I have only broken my no buy twice, and I haven't accumulated nearly as many things this year, and I'm even using some items that I had been "hoarding" for.......I'm not sure what.  Either way, it's forcing me to work with things I hadn't even opened yet!  One of those things was Tim Holtz distress inks and Tattered Angels sprays!!  I must admit, in the past, distress inks had sort of intimidated me, although I loved the cool effects I had seen in videos!  This past week I finally opened them and started playing, and I must say, I'm in LOVE!  There are so many cool effects to be created, and they make very eye catching backgrounds, I can't wait to experiment more!


Materials Used:

White Cardstock base
Navy cardstock mat
watercolor paper
Tim Holtz Distress Inks
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Sprays
Tim Holtz Architecture stamp
May May Made It Sentiment Stamp
Alcohol Ink markers
Glossy Accents

As always, I welcome questions and comments.
