On my recent downline roadtrip, we made a card using distress inks.  I got a few and also a couple of stamps.  I couldn't resist playing a little bit tonight.  I have tons of stuff I should be doing, but sometimes you just have to play, especially when you've had a couple of weeks like I have had.  It was a great stress reliever and I really think that I'll be more productive because of it.
The cattail stamp is one of the stamps I got at Rocky Mountain Memories. I've had the sentiment for a while and just hadn't inked it up yet.  The button is from my stash.  I cut the brown layer with my deckle scissors and used the Black Soot distress pad on it.  I used Pine Needles on the green card base and Antique Linen on the image panel.  Card stock is Garden Green, Naturals Ivory and Soft Suede.  I have really fallen in love with the Soft Suede cardstock and it is the only color I didn't think I'd like in the new in-color bundle.
Can't wait to get back to crafting on a regular basis - - soon, very soon I hope!
Thanks so much for visiting!
