Playing around with my new Distress Ink, I aged the corners of the colored plant (flat background). I used a pencil though for everything else (except the picture on the bottom right, the leaf and the title), shading the edge and smudging it with my finger, giving it a more aged, dirty look...kinda worn. I should have maybe rubbed harder and maybe ripped it a bit lol. but I think it looks good (it's darker in person...the picture doesn't really do justice)
But this is just an experiement to see if I could do it. I want to make it on a much larger scale, and perhaps with a different font for the info. I've been getting my page inspirations from here if you want to be inspired yourself:
Księga Cieni (Translates to Book of Shadows...it's a beautiful book)
Book of Shadows (izzyjessbell)
Book of Shadows Quick Flip (Misty's Archives)
**UPDATE**
Not really anything major, I just wanted to mention that I bought a couple more inks to play with. I got a darker brown distress ink and a standard black inkpad (it sort of works as a distress...at least dirties my pages a bit...makes it look a bit soot-y).
Im hoping to make another page later...I'm still playing around with everything...I haven't quite gotten it to look just right yet. I will update later.
