Floral Card ~ Technique: Distress Oxides

 Hi and welcome to a new project using Distress Oxide inks and a Stencil. I'm sharing this project with the  Heart 2 Heart Challenge: Stencil It. It's also part of the Technique Artwork Showcase for October.

I started with a stenciled background and Distress Oxide Ink. The link to the stencil is below. The Distress Oxide Ink colors used for this card are Speckled Egg, Candied Apple, Mustard Seed, Kitsch Flamingo and Mowed Lawn. The fun part about Distress Oxide inks is that they react to water! You can spray a mist and get a fine distressed look like I did, or you can splatter water and get a bolder look. Or you can even just stamp with the ink and not add water!

To apply the ink with  the stencil I used our new Bending Brushes. These brushes are amazing! You can get a nice soft look or use more pressure for a bolder look. Plus, it's a smooth look without edges!

The flowers were stamped with the Distress Oxide inks and cut out with the coordinating Thin Cut Dies. No fussy cutting needed! The yellow flower was misted with water and popped up on Thin Foam Tape. The sentiment comes from the Flourished Greetings set. 

Other products used: White Cards and Envelopes Value Pack, White Cardstock, Mist Glitter Paper, Freshly Baked Dots, Onyx Liquid Pearls.
