Cards are something I love making for every season. Today I’m showing you how to create some simple distress cards perfect for fall. This is a great beginner project if you’re new to distress inks.
Ready to get started? Below is a supply list and step-by-step instructions on how to construct your new cards. Have fun!
Supplies:
Distress inks- 2 or 3 colors
Paint pens
Water
White cardstock
Paper glue or tape runner
Leaf embellishments
Cut a 6x8” rectangle.
Fold in half to create a 4x6” card base.
Rub the distress inks onto the 3.5x5.5” rectangle anyway you choose but sticking mainly to the center.
Spray or flick water onto the surface of the inks and let sit for a minute.
Dab the remaining water off with a dust free piece of fabric.
Let the card dry completely before moving on. You can speed this up with a heat gun or hair dryer.
Use the paint pens to write “happy fall” semi in the center of the card (you can also use a stamp if you’d rather).
Use a paint pen (and round object like a lid, if needed) to draw four or five large circles around your phrase.
Add leaf embellishments as desired.
Happy crafting,
Misty
