I started by stamping the images using Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also did some masking with the stamped images. Then I did a wrinkle free distress technique with the paper. To do this I used several colors of Ranger Distress inks, Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Broken China (blue), Peeled Paint (green), Dusty Concord (purple), Worn Lipstick (pink), a craft mat, spray bottle with water and a heat tool. I press the different colors of pads onto the craft mat, mist with water and place the paper on top. Then lift up the paper and heat set. I do this several times until I achieve a look I like. Here is a close up of the background so you can see the distress look on the paper.
Next I used a Pink Souffle Pen and Glaze Pens Watermelon 819, Aqua 825, Purple 824, White 800 from Sakura to go over certain areas on the images and to add a little dimension. In the picture above (on the flowers) you can see once the ink is dry there is some dimension.
To finish of the card I took a chipboard tag and sprayed Sweet Pea Glimmer Mist on the entire tag, heat set to dry and then stamped the sentiment. I also inked the edges of the tag, added some tiny bits of bling and attached the chipboard tag with black sheer ribbon.Supplies~

This card is beautiful, and thankyou for sharing your distressing techinique. I will definitely be trying it. I have just gotten some of the glaze gel pens, and I do like the results on your card. It was fun to see you happen to be from my state, too! Best wishes in the New Year.
