Sherwood Edwin

I have always admired the look of distressed inks on stamped images.  So I took the plunge and ordered some distress inks.  Here is my first attempt at coloring with Distress Inks. I used some Twinkling H20's on the feathers...these are another nice medium to work with that I plan to explore more in the future.


Sherwood Edwin is from the Magnolia Fairy Tale Collection.  I purchased him from Diana over at Magnolia-licious....I see that Sherwood Edwin is in stock too.

 I have decided that I am going to sign up to take Angie's Distress Inks Class over at Color Me Creative Classroom.  I am just waiting for my paper to arrive and a few more inks to arrive first.

Hi Corinne!
Great job with your first try at Distress inks. Even though I have been using distress ink for my medium of choice I joined up with Angie to learn more. They are fabulous classes and well worth doing. Hope to see you there.
