I have to admit… I’m a Newbie to this Distress Ink Fad but I an quickly warming up to it!!! Here’s a little inspiration for you….
I heat embossed the lovely Hello Doily stamp on to recollections pink card stock with White embossing powder and then used the Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet Distress Ink that I snagged at The Cutting Garden to ink around the edges to give it dimension, what a beautiful effect! I hope my picture does it justice!!
I was really pleased with this card but found it to be a bit bumpy and could see that it would be difficult to find an envelope for it as the card measures approx. 5 x 5 so I went ahead and created an envelope that would allow for an embellished card (bumpy and hard to mail) to match!…. have a look at this….
I used my Martha Stewart scoring board to design this envelope to be thick enough to accommodate the pin and raised bow that I used to embellish my card. I decided to add the finishing touch and heat emboss the beautiful flower on to th envelope.
I like to call this taking doily’s to the next level! … I used the Stampin’ Up Hello Doily stamp and topped it off by using the Martha Stewart Vintage Doily Punch Around the Page punch set I picked up at The Cutting Garden.
I hope my project inspires you to find some creative time in your day, it is truly a relaxing and rewarding hobby ! 
Thanks for stopping by!
