Probably only used tearing of edges distressing technique - or perhaps seeping in tea when I was a kid and had to make parchment! So excited for all the techniques - thanks!

I am in the middle of working on my 1st distressed card - I used a knife from my kitchen to rough up the edges and then plan to add some ink. I actually have 1 of the ink pads and your postings inspired me to give it a go. Loving it so far!

I love the Distress Inks and have used them for numerous projects. They really highlight papers, take the edge off “too startling” colors, and add a pop of subtle color to tags and other paper add-ons. Thanks for the opportunity to win these…now I’m off to make my twin sons and nephews birthday cards using Distress Inks! (Yes, you don’t want to be in my family…we have 4 sets of multiples among my 8 siblings…and no fertility drugs…obviously, we don’t need them.)

I am still new to distressing, and I love the look it gives projects. I am very tentative when I ink edges, and I haven’t dared to rip a beautiful piece of paper yet (LOL). I love to see what others have done and I am trying to learn and copy. I would love to have the supplies needed to really distress everything I do since it really makes a project so much more interesting. Thanks for all the inspiration.

I use distress inks for all my projects. My favourite way to distress something is use the distressing tool (little round tool to distress edges) then apply the ink. The edges of the papers take the ink much better that way. Thank you for all the wonderful projects and happy aniversary Hero Arts!
