Ready for a new Thomas Kinkade release? Next Wednesday, September 17th, Cornish Heritage Farms will release The Night Before Christmas along with the corresponding sentiment.
Since I *love* Ranger Distress inks, I’ve been wanting to try this Distress Ink Burnt Edge technique. I ended up combining it with the Vintage Photo Tinting technique. (Wow…two techniques in one and I’m not even a “technique” person.) I didn’t totally stick by the rules though. I had to improvise a bit on the inks as I don’t have all of them…yet and this doesn’t really look like the actual technique samples, but I’ll try again. (In poking around looking for these techniques, I found this thread with some great info on distress inks.)
Twas the Night Before Christmas
Am I happy with how this turned out? I LOVE the look of the Aged Sheet Music Scrapblock™ background. I hated to cover so much of it. The focal point was hard to photograph…another one of those “nicer in person” images.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
