Clean and Simple Cardmaking - week 1, card 19

Jennifer McGuire showed us a really cool technique in class today, using distress inks, blending tool and perfect pearls.  Here's what I came up with using her technique:
Is there any way, short of wearing gloves, to use Distress inks and keep your fingers from getting all inky!  LOL!  I'm a mess!!  BTW, I used my new Festive Berries and Evergreen Bough Distress inks on this card - and I'm in love with these two colours!  Just the best!! 
Thanks for visiting :)

    PS: I don't wear gloves, but I do have one of the Ranger Scrubbie things for my hands and it works great at getting all the ink off!!!

    Here is a link so you can see what I mean:

      I was really excited when I read it and wanted to share my excitement with YOU!!!! I think you'll love the scrubbie...I've had mine for a long time and it's still like new! It works very well and doesn't ruin your nails or scratch your skin!

      Hope you are enjoying your weekend!! :)
