Trio of Distress card with video tutorial

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Trio-tastic". Use 3 of something in your project.



For this card I dusted off my Gelli Plate after a very long time and it was quite dusty... This technique I've seen at a craft exhibition in the Netherlands and found it so cool that I wanted to try it for my own card. Somewhere I had heard or read that it wasn't a good idea to work with ink on your Gelli Plate because of staining, so I was very surprised when I saw this technique with Distress Ink. It takes some practice, because this take was my 6th... But I knew what I wanted, else I probably was happy with my first attempt...

  

This challenge asks for three of something, and I've used three different kind of  Distress Products. First Distress Ink with Gelli Plate. Secondly, I used Distress Stain Spray for splashes and third I used Distress Crayon for distressing the edges.

Beautiful card Sandra! That background is stunning! And I love the look of the flower and how you used the tape like soil. Hugs!

This is great! I love the soft background you got by using the gelli plate. I guess the first 5 tries were great also... The contrast with black wildflowers is stunning. Hugs, Marzena

Beautiful card, Sandra, and an inspiration to dust off my gelli plate too and try this! I am always intrigued by your little signature cluster of three circles - I always look for them! Happy Thanksgiving, Maura
