If you’ve followed me for anytime at all you know I love my Distress Oxides for stamping and creating creamy blended backgrounds. Now, to complement my Oxides, I’m diving head first into the Distress Inks as well! . . ⭐️What’s the difference you ask?⭐️ . Distress INKS are a dye-based ink. When using Distress Ink on cardstock the ink will seep into the porous material (cardstock) and will appear more translucent. As you layer Distress Ink on top of itself the color will become deeper and deeper.
