But I rather liked the effect using them with distress inks (not the clear distress embossing ink). Have you tried that? You may like the results better. I tend to like things that look a bit rusty anyway. <br /><br />I love your new ink storage.

I do think the Distress Ink is a little stickier than other embossing inks I've used, so it might be that you'd enjoy the technique more using that. I'll be interested to hear what you think if you give it a go!<br /><br />Your storage system is brilliant! I've been trying to figure out a better way of organizing my Distress pads, and you've totally inspired me. Thank you!<br /><br />And, thank you for bringing such a gorgeous card to the 5th Challenge!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />LindaLinda Ledbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01548694165391939891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355870279880765723.post-75993776401442827782010-07-12T21:12:34.839+01:002010-07-12T21:12:34.839+01:00It's a lovely card Sherry, I too am not a fan ...It's a lovely card Sherry, I too am not a fan of these powders, but I have made a better go of them this time by following the directions in the book.<br />I love your storage box too xSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17370190771793517610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355870279880765723.post-31744335759785848392010-07-12T21:03:36.268+01:002010-07-12T21:03:36.268+01:00Its a smashing tag Sherry, this is a first for me ...Its a smashing tag Sherry, this is a first for me as well.<br />Love your storage box.Meggymayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15523023041456397683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355870279880765723.post-62867846201955402962010-07-12T20:46:04.732+01:002010-07-12T20:46:04.732+01:00Great tag.

Life just gets in the way at times doesn't it! I was so excited to see you're taking part in Linda's challenges. I discovered them last week. They are super! I'm hoping to take part but need to buy some Distress powders first..not sure what colour to try?<br />Love your tag Sherry. The colour looks great. Fab choice of image too. Have a great week.
