Distress Oxide Water Painting
Welcome to Day 3 of my GIU Week!
Please leave a comment each day this week, to be eligible to win a fabulous prize of 25 Unity stamps direct from Unity! Feel free to leave suggestions as well - I am always excited to learn new and different ways of doing things when it comes to stamping and making cards! Also feel free to look for me on Instagram after the week is over, to see what other crafting I’ve been up to!
Today I am sharing a fun technique I picked up from Jennifer McGuire’s blog a few weeks ago. On these cards I stamped and heat embossed my images in white.
I then blended various colors of Distress Oxide inks over the panels.
I used a wet paintbrush or a water brush to “paint” areas with water only, where I wanted to remove the color. I love the soft effect you get! The floral images I used on these cards are from Now and Always. The sentiments are from Now and Always, Sweet Owl Just Because, ( heat embossed in white on vellum), Special Wishes sentiment kit, (stamped in black Archival ink on vellum), Bunches of {love} sentiment kit, and Let Your Wishes Fly sentiment kit, ( stamped directly onto card panel with Archival Ink.)
Thank you for visiting today! See you on day 4!

Very pretty colors! I love the horizontal stripes. The oxides give such a soft look.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty. The distress oxides create such a soft look. I haven't invested in any oxides yet and watercolor skills are not my forte. I may have to try your technique though. Beautiful!
