As I'm sure everyone reading this is, I am a HUGE fan of Tim Holtz and his wonderful Distress Inks. In an ideal world, I would own one blending tool for every colour family and have one of those cool vintagey stamp holders too. That's the ideal. In the real world, I just won't justify spending approximately $75.00 on it. Maybe one day. Not today.
I saw this idea whilst You-Tubing and thout it was brilliant and definitely much more cost effective than 8 or 9 blending tools. The only downfall is that my distress inks no longer snuggle together, one on top of the other but really that doesn't matter because I tend to keep them bunched in an elastic since I don't trust the lid to stay on.

Here you go. My new storage method a-la-iPhone photos:
Materials Used - Distress Inks, Ink Blending Foam, Velcro (rough side)
Place velcro (rough side) on under side in ink pad
adhere foam to velcro
and *VOILA*
You now have an ink foam piece for each and every Distress Ink colour you have ... and all for pennies to do, moments of your time and just a bit of unsteady-ness in the stacking once completed --- which is easily remedied in various manners, elastic included.
Have a happy, creative day.
