Friday Focus - Distress Inks #2

[@allthatscrafty]

Love your die choice for this card. Using the partial flower die really worked out to show off the distress ink. TFS Mary :-)

[@stephpezstampin73]

You never cease to create the most wonderful cards Kristina! Gorgeous! xx

[@HeidiMBlankenship]

Love all of the beautiful colors! Distress Inks are so fun to work with and I love techniques like this that give a paper kind of a dreamy look. Fabulous card! TFS!

[@marjimiller3985]

Love how you used the black cutout Hugs to place the small pieces. Ingenius!

[@tay6032]

Kristina, (if that's how you spell it, I have no clue, I'm used to Christina,) I'm 16 almost 17, never really had a crafty side, and never would call myself creatively inclined. Ever since I've started watching your videos, (which has been 2-3 weeks ago,) I've been binging to the max! These always calm me down and keep my attention, it's like they're apart of my daily routine. you inspire me to just go out and invest in painting supplies! I'm grateful for finding your channel. thank you!

[@cindyroman-daversa9194]

I love this card! The colors, the technique...all wonderful!

[@MsSuperklutz]

What a gorgeous card!! OMG your background turned out amazing it reminded me of a most beautiful sunset. You truly come up with such outstanding clever techniques. Your ideas with your dies also resulted in a an unbelievable 3D look. Girl you are just so talented you video was not only super fun but packed with inspiration. WOW!! YOU so ROCK!! Joan Smith

[@kwernerdesign]

MsSuper Klutz Thank you! :)

[@carriedan1000]

This is beautiful! I love the distress ink tutorials. I have all of them and hardly have used them at all but I am seeing lots of techniques lately and am learning lots of great ideas!!

[@karenperkins6744]

Kristina, I am totally in awe of your talent! This card is just superb! Wish I had seen this a long time ago! I already use glossy accents for Word and number dies .... but they never look as good as yours do! Thank you for another wonderful tutorial, this one is a keeper too .... along with so many others of yours! xx

[@teresakannenberg1202]

That is like the coolest card I have seen in a long time! Love, love, love it! Might have to get those flower dies!

[@pamelathomason6038]

Love this...there's a lot going on, but it doesn't look too busy or cluttered. Totally into the analogous colors...beautiful! :-)

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

Very pretty card and cool background tech. I tend to freak when I see you lift off the color. Love how the color pools at the edge of the water drops. Not a fan of the white spots. But on this card it works really well. So clever to use the first black layer for placing in the colored bits just right.

[@salleep.9818]

Really cool! Beautiful background. And it was fun to see the partial cut flowers in action.

[@rhondabeckwith8782]

Love love love this. I'm now addicted to water color and distress inks..thanks to your teaching style. Hugs

[@andrealavigne7824]

Another gorgeous card, Kristina! Love those colors--bright & vibrant without being too "in your face." And thanks for the tip on placing the inner die cut pieces by gluing the one die cut layer in first. When I saw that, I had one of those, "why didn't I think of that?" moments! LOL Thanks so much for sharing this card & your awesome talent!

[@kwernerdesign]

Andrea La Vigne Thank you for the sweet comments! :)

[@dianawhitney3083]

Lovely card. The prep and execution are amazing. Thanks for sharing this idea. Love your posts.

[@pawprintx4]

You hit it out of the park with this card.. Lovely.

[@pamschonfarber1041]

Very very cool card. So fun watching you and learning so many different things, I just wonder when I won't feel like a beginner at card making but I'm having fun with the process

[@puffinliz]

Love the background and the technique you used for "Hugs", thanks for sharing.

[@JoysStudiocreations]

Love, love this card - gorgeous!

[@Magh_Metanoia]

Looks so nice, I have to try adding sequins on a card

[@gillianjf260]

Absolutely stunning. Adore it!

[@thelastwin]

Just gotta say, you are the best part of my day! I enjoy your videos so much and they go perfect with my morning coffee. Keep up the most excellent work.

[@kwernerdesign]

S Hulan Thank you! That's so sweet of you to say! :)

[@julielynn86]

LOL my sentiments exactly. Only today, she had me so focused on her technique that I shared my entire mug of coffee with my craft area...tipped that baby right on over......went ahead and bathed my Copics with some Starbuck's splendor. Only took twenty minutes to clean up, and my next pot is brewing. So all in all, it works out just fine. ;-)

[@JenEvers]

Your videos are always a delight! LOVE THEM! xoxo Jen

[@jeanieferretti4203]

Love it! Love my Distress Oxides! Thanks!

[@darlynewagner1324]

I hate to sound trite: but this card is AWESOME; the colors, the dies and partial dies all work perfectly! Love how the dimension makes this card just glorious. Wow.

[@RoseMaryBowen]

Very nice. I like the layering to give more dimension.

[@simplycraftyfrench5144]

Another delight to see ! TFS

[@eleonorrigby7332]

so beautiful!!

[@pattiepan]

A really stunning card Kristina. Also I love the color of your nail polish. It goes beautifully with your skin. It is really a beautiful color on your hands. pat

[@theresalafleur9601]

[@loststamper]

I love this Card!! Mary Katherine from Canada

[@ADayInLisasLife3947]

Beautiful.

[@rwjade1]

Love it!!! (singing voice)

[@luraa5578]

It is obvious to me that you will never be allowed to retire - there will be an uprising all over the nation and across the world. Yet another jaw-dropping card!

[@julielynn86]

Ah, I see that ten confused humans have collected here to give this a bewildering thumbs down. Oh Kristina, please ignore them, for this is awesome, as always. Sigh..........

[@MizzBooSongz]

So amazing

[@sorayaanthony5125]

Hi, very nice work, I wanted to know if there is a way to have those die cuts made in other languages ? in all the cards videos I see only english. thank you

[@Lisa_Zapata]

Love it!

[@kathleenweber9010]

Thanks for the suggestion. Also why is the tip on the quick stick so hard to turn or is it just the one I got.

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Hi Kristina,lovely card and I love the watercolour background.I don't understand why you put it back into the card and then put more on top though?? Surely two or three layers of the word just put on the background would give enough dimension? Just a thought!

[@HaleyGetsDistracted]

Do you think that if I created cards like this, and tried to sell them on Etsy, that I would profit, or that anyone would buy them?

[@sharonjohnstone5758]

very pretty Kristina. Look forward to your Monday card.

[@christinethomas8484]

Beautiful x

[@nicolescardsandcandles]

Cute card! love it

[@kathleenweber9010]

I need to know how to use that quick stick. I go to put something in the glue and the sequin will fall off. Is there a trick to using it?

[@kwernerdesign]

Kathleen Weber If it’s new, the tip might be a little dry. Twist the tip so more “goo” comes out and then pull off the dry part. Also, it might depend on how sticky your adhesive it. If the adhesive is stickier that the QuickStik, the sequins will stick to it.

[@uranastanley1507]

Can you show a lighter color card stock using the 5x7 card technique please :)

[@kwernerdesign]

Urana Stanley You can see it in this video: Distress Markers & Gorjuss New Heights - Color Wednesday #46

[@thepickledstrawberry2278]

I love this card. By chance where did you get that sequin holder? Looks very handy. Tfs

[@kwernerdesign]

BlaCk HeaRt PriMs From simonsaysstamp.com. You can also look at local craft stores. It might be in the section for beading.

[@marilynnellsworth4300]

These colors are wonderful! Great card, I used to put cards together like this, (two pieces). I haven't thought about it in so long. Thanks for jogging my memory.lol Hugs

[@sharonfrench1087]

Cool card.

[@deejohnston3666]

Awesomnesssssd again

[@agnesniderlinder6771]

it's so cute

[@janenielsen809]

Super cool card Kristina :-) tfs ~ hugs Jane

[@01Woof]

why did you put the little cut outs on hugs when next you covered the whole thin?

[@kwernerdesign]

01Woof It builds it up and adds dimension.

[@01Woof]

thank you :)

[@adri4nails]

what type of bone folder are you using?

[@kwernerdesign]

Adri Silva Teflon bone folder. Link is in the description under Supplies.

[@1bjwlsn]

Another way to use the distress ink.

[@Alexandermagno1111]

Wooow!
