Distress Archival Ink Backgrounds

Hey crafty friends, welcome back! In this post, I'm sharing 2 techniques using the new Tim Holtz Mini Archival Inks! Tim originally released a set of 12 colors back in 2019. Well now that family has grown and 12 more colors from the Distress line are now available in the Archival Ink formula. If you aren't familiar with Archival Ink, it's a waterproof dye ink that is permanent on many surfaces and it won't bleed when combined with water-based inks, markers, paint or watercolors. These properties allow you to create a lot of depth and dimension when layering them.

I've created a video sharing these techniques and the cards I created using them. You can check it out below. If the video isn’t showing up, click HERE to watch it.

Below are the cards from my video. I've included some of basic information along with the main products I used on each card. If you are interested in more details on how I created each card and the techniques I used, make sure to check out my video. And as always, you can find a complete supply list at the end of this post.
