Hello, today I wanted to show you how fun Distress Oxide Inks are! When they first came out I wasn't quite sure if I needed them since I already use Distress Inks and love them! But, after watching Vicky Papaioannou's blog on how they do not mud up when layering, I decided that I just had to have them. I love the colors and the silky chalky feel.
Handmade cards and artistic delight to illuminate the soul and bring a bit of whimsy.

Card Challenges
Today I want to show you a couple of cards that I made for various challenges. When I saw the challenges my mind was "whirlin''". I really wanted to make some cards that had a masculine feel, so, looking through my dies I saw the Tattered Lace Sailing Ship and decided on this. I also just received some new Hero Arts ink pads with vibrant colors of the Sardinian sea so I knew that I just had to use them.
One card is the color of the sea and the other is just a plain crisp white.
| I am entering it into the following challenges. 1. Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge- Use More Than One Die or Punch http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/ 2. Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge- Layer It Up http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/ 3.MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 325 http://www.cardchallenges.com/search/label/sketchchallenge |
Oggi voglio mostrarvi un paio di biglietti fatto appositamente per il Challenge di My Favorite Things di Mercoledì. Quando ho visto il disegno il mio cervello incomincava girare. Volevo fare alcuni bigliettini che avevano un tocco maschile, così, guardando nel mio stash di fustelle ho trovato Il Veliero di Tattered Lace. Ho anche appena ricevuto alcuni nuovi inchiosstri di Hero Arts con i colori bellissimi che me fanno ricordare il mare di Sardegna.
Spero che vi piaciono! Un abbraccio.

Simple sympathy card.
The other day I was playing around with my stamps and colors to see what I could come up with. I found my Hero Arts Musical Collage Design Block. I love this background stamp. It covers a whole A2 card and then some. I wanted to create a background that wasn't too dark and somber with vibrant colors (while I wait for my order of Distress Oxides to arrive). I used Brilliance Archival Pigment Pearlescent Coral and Orange. I waited till they were dry then smudged in Wendy Vecchi's Archival Ink in Tea Rose. I then printed with the stamp using Brilliance Archival Pigment Pearlescent Chocolate.
Since I wanted to get more out of my dies, Memory Box Tall Chloe Stem and regular Cloe Stem, I first cut them out with brown craft foam, used them to stamp the background in Wendy Vecchi's Archival Ink in Hydrangea then flipped them to use on the card itself. Once satisfied with the result I added Glossy Accents all over the stems to give it more depth.
I finished everything off using Lawn Fawn's Stitch Rectangles with gray cardstock and a sentiment stamp that I don't remember where it came from....sorry. I've had it forever!
Enjoy!
