Private Stain Distress swap with Gobarb & Poggy

Apply Distress Ink to your craft mat by swiping the pad directly across the mat. Do this with three different colors making sure not to overlap the colors. You do not want to contaminate the other ink pads.

Apply Distress Re-inker across the ink on the mat. A little goes a long way. Lightly drag the eye dropper in various areas. I did little droplets & also dragged it in different areas.

Mist the 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 ATC or larger piece to cut down later, with water. You are after droplets not big pools of water. So go lightly.

Now press your cardstock into the ink & drag it thru the ink. You can go back & pick up more color at this point.

Mist the inked cardstock to help spread the Re-inker. Dry this with a heat tool.

Now that you have the background done, finish the ATC any way you want making sure some of the beautiful background shows.

Add a sturdy backing & your Swap bot info. Place the ATC in a protective sleeve. Please join if you can send & receive mail.
