Squeeze the "Distressing" Day

I recently participated in Jenn Shurkus' Distress Inks Techniques for Cardmakers Class and found it to be both a lot of fun and very educational, too. We learned many techniques and practiced them under Jenn's capable guidance. One of my favorite techniques was the Stamped Lines Watercoloring Technique. I loved watching the stamped image fill in with subtle color when pulling the ink to the uninked areas using a wet paint brush.

I used the actual panel that I practiced in class on today's card.

Take a closer look at the subtle coloring:
