New Distress Oxide Inks + Giveaway!

Hi there! Laura here and today I’m excited to share a couple of project using several of the new Pretty Pink Posh stamps and dies as well as several of the new Distress Oxide Inks.

Watch the video above   I   Watch the video in HD on YouTube  
It’s no secret why the Distress Oxide inks are such a hit! First of all, they blend like buttah! The 12 new colors are bright, happy and right up my alley! I created two colorful backgrounds with the Distress Oxide inks using two of my favorite techniques: ink smooshing & ink blending.

For the first card I wanted to create a deep sea type of feel so I smooshed Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover, Peacock Feathers & Salty ocean onto my craft mat and smooshed my Watercolor cardstock into the wet, spritzed inks. I added images from the adorable Sea Friends and an embossed sentiment from Birdie Friends. I turned the card into a full size shaker by making a window using the Stitched Notes die and filling the shaker with Iridescent Star Confetti & Sparkling Clear Sequins.

For my next card I used the Stitched Duo 3 die to make the arch shape panel. Then using scrap paper, I masked off “rays” and blended in a rainbow of Distress Oxide inks.

For the images I added the cute little girl from Summer Friends. I used the Fly a Kite set for the sentiment as well as a few kites. Such sweet images that pair perfectly with the cheerful colors of the new Distress Oxide inks.
