Happy Tuesday!
This week I played some more with Distress Oxide Inks and a beautiful stamp set by Altenew called ‘faithful feathers’ (it was in the online store, but it seems to be gone today- must be sold out! I’m sure Raya can order more though!)
The stamp set includes a variety of sentiments and several layers of a single feather design, I used the solid base and the outline for this card. I inked the solid feather repeatedly with two colors of Distress Oxide, misted with water before stamping. On some I was more generous with water, which allowed for more oxidizing of the inks and some bleeding, which I thought gave a soft & pretty look! I blended some ink into the white spaces and layered iced spruce through a stencil for more texture. Finally (after I was sure everything was dry!) I heat embossed the feather outline stamp over the solid images in white.
It made a very pretty background, so I kept everything else simple with a white embossed sentiment on colored cardstock and some thin, colored jute wrapped around the card.
There are some really great elements in this stamp set, so I’m sure you will see more in the future!
Hope you enjoyed- have a creative day!
Inky hugs,
Tara
