hey bloggers! hope you had a great weekend. i had a very busy one and this morning i'm up to my elbows in sparkling distress stickles. things around the studio are in full swing getting samples made - talk about crafting in bulk. so i thought i'd share some pics of a few distress stickled prima flowers i've been making. distress stickles are pretty cool since it's not really a metallic glitter, distress provides more of a nostalgic shimmer (like sugar or crushed glass). they come in 29 colors too (all 24 distress ink colors, 3 metallics, white, and rocky candy) so the possibilities are endless with these. oh how i wish i could show you what i'm using them on, but that will have to wait. for now, i'm sharing what i can so at least you can add a little sparkle to your day...t!m





SO Pretty!

Love these. I am going to have to get me some of the distress stickles. I have not bought it in the past as I thought it was the same as the regular stickles brand.

Can't wait to see what you do with them. Your picture also seems to feature one of your techniques that I love - stamping text on the flowers. Will definitely add some distress stickles to the flower mix, soon.

...we had a busy one too, selling lots of your fabulous products on our stand at the hobbycrafts show, at the NEC, Birmingham, England.
We sold clean out of Distress Inks, Anneliese who you met here at the Trade show in February was demo-ing them for us, you may remember her, I think you have since seen her Grungebag :)
