Hi again, crafty friends. Today’s card features THIS new card kit… The kit contains multiple white tags so I thought it would be fun and different to create a tag card. I started by applying Distress Oxide ink to the inside of the kit’s embossing folder. I applied it on the flat side, not the raised side. Next, I spritzed it with water, laid my tag inside and ran it through my die cut...

Hello there, crafty friends. There is a new color in the Distress Ink family! Let me introduce you to Scorched Timber… I’m a fan of bold bright colors so I have to admit, I don’t typically gravitate toward brown.
