Distress Monoprint + Over 25 Card Ideas + Want a Card?
Hello! Today I am sharing my new favorite technique – Distress Ink Monoprint. This techniques results to two fun backgrounds. I have a crazy number of cards to share (25+!) and I hope they inspire you!

The technique I am showcasing today is best understood by watching the video. 🙂 Below I have photos of the many cards I made, along with the supplies used on each. I used a lot of different dies, but remember this card designs could all be done with simple dies or dies you may already have!
All of the die cuts on these cards are stacked. I die cut 3 or 4 of each die from white cardstock and glued them together for dimension.
