CCC#24: Rock Candy Distress Stickles


Haven't crafted in a while but really wanted to participate in the CCC#24 so jammed this out this morning.  Just got this ATC stamp by Stampers Anonymous and had to use it right away.  Made it simple:  Stamped the image in Archival ink onto a pre-cut ATC.  Didn't have the nibs by Ranger so I pulled out my old blender pen----used to color in the images with Distress Inks Barn Door, Vintage Photo, Faded Blue Jeans and Pine Needles.  Covered the entire piece in Rock Candy Distress Stickles.  And the blue rhinestones for the finishing touch.  Quick but fun---just the crafty fix I needed.  Happy Holidays all!!
