Be Inspired

It’s my privilege to kick things off once again with my project! I use Distress Oxide Ink probably on about 80% of my cards these days. But the funny thing is, I was a bit stumped with what to share! Thankfully, I found some time to ink up something autumn inspired. I also got to use the die cut letters that were left from the project I shared on Tuesday– bonus!

My card features a resist technique on book print paper, which I’d never tried with Distress Oxide Inks before. It was a bit touchy adding water to such thin paper, but it was fun to see it all come together! I started by clear embossing leaves from the Sketchy Flowers stamp set by MFT. I then added my first layer of ink with my Life Changing Blender Brushes by Picket Fence Studios.

(Di)stress with Distress Oxide

One of my favorite things about Distress Oxide Inks is how the colors layer over each other, especially when you add water to help them oxidize! I brushed on another layer of color, then rubbed and misted some Spiced Marmalade onto my kraft sheet and dabbed it over the surface. I used a slightly damp rag to wipe the ink off the embossed design, revealing the white leaves. It felt like it needed just a bit more colour, so I used the coordinating solid images to help my design stand out.

My card base was made from a scrap of brown cardstock, sized approximately 7″ square before I scored it. I heat embossed one of the leaves on a lighter brown cardstock in metallic teal and copper. I love the look of two-tone embossing, though it’s been a long time since I’ve done it! Details like twine, bling and some splatters of Distress Oxide Spray in Spiced Marmalade and Distress Spray Stain in Antiqued Bronze finish off my card.

I really love how the Old Paper Distress Oxide ink plays so well with the alcohol ink colors in my letters! It also really softens up the brightness of the other colors.

I hope you like my card, and I know you’re gonna love the rest of the projects in this Blog Hop! Next up you are heading over to see what Kia has for you! Below you’ll find the full list of links for the team.

Hop Along


Happy Hopping!

Inky hugs,

Tara
