you have the book and then go to Linda's blog to see
what challenge she has set for this week.

All I can say is that it needed Distress Embossing Powder
which I did not have so had to run out and buy a jar of it.
I had tried this powder before and really did not get the
hang of it and sorry to say I still don't, perhaps I need
some one on one time with Tim so that I can get to love
this product.

I will say that I loved the new colour of distress ink that I
used, Pumice Stone, it is hard to describe as it looks like
it would be gray but comes out kind of tan. I used it to
ink the background and also to stamp the flourishes, it
definitely looks grayer when used to stamp with.

I normally would not do, thanks Linda for organizing this :)

" A skull in distress." Cool! I think it turned out great. Pumice stone is one of my favorite colors.
Marlene, it turned out beautifully! Cool design, and your Distress Powder really does look great!
I know that this product can be hard to make friends with, but I love that you gave it a chance! Thanks for playing along with the 5th Challenge. You art is always so lovely, and I look forward every week to seeing what you've created.
Cool piece, Marlene! Love the red skull. The flourishes look great in Pumice Stone, I didn't think I would like that color either, but now I love it.
Good luck with the one on one with Tim, lol.
Brilliant! x
I love your piece, it almost looks like it's been made out of leather, and the skull is one of my favourite stamps x
Beautiful. Love the colours.
Brilliant, love it. Annette x
Excellent! You should have called--I would have met you since you "had" to go shopping! LOL
What a fun piece! Great sentiment (though I'm pretty sure I AM actually lost, ha ha), and FANTASTIC use of the pumice stone ink!
Your embossing is beautiful, so hope you do give it another chance or two. :)
Well I am loving it and it turned out perfect! This was my first attempt at and also had to go hunt down distressing EP. Thank you for visiting my blog!
I just luv how your project turned out, really skullfully done! lol
