Hi everyone. More playing with my new Distress Oxides inks. They react so differently than any product I've used so far.
I love the colours of the background and it is a good example of how you can layer MANY different colours of ink and they all show. I pressed two colours onto my craft mat, spritzed with water and smooshed onto a piece of watercolour paper. Dried with my heat tool, and repeated, adding different colours each time. I used six different colours and the amazing thing is that you can see all of them. Very cool!
I added a simple die-cut (layered with black foam for added dimension) and sentiment to finish the card. I'm learning lots just playing with these fun inks. :)
Stamps: A Little Sentimental (Clearly Besotted)
Paper: Black (Stampin' Up!); Watercolour (Arches 140 lb. cold press)
Ink: Distress Oxides: Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick, Wilted Violet, Broken China, Cracked Pistachio (Tim Holtz); Black (Memento)
Accessories & Tools: Water mister, heat tool, Meadow Leaf die (Poppy Stamps)

Loll, this IS a fabulous result, in particular with the black die cut emphasising the beautiful oxide colours. I have 6 pads and need to get the rest. They are the best so far compared to other I have used too.. ♥[aNNie]
so pretty Loll - i'm loving those inks too!
Wow arent they amazing. All those colours together and they look stunning. I knew you would end up making me want these inks. Fabulous look, they are made for you.
Looks awesome against the black.
Love your overall design! Oooh, those oxides!Such depth. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful colour combination - and it looks fabulous against the black. I'm going to have to order the rest of the colours!!
Wow..I am so impressed with how your DOX inks layer. I love your color choices and yes, you can see all the different colors..so cool! Love all your black accents with the colors. TFS Loll. Hugs...
Gorgeous work Loll, these inks are fabulous aren't they! Cathy x
gorgeous, the colours really stand out against the black.
The background colours are so beautiful. Amazing work here, Lol.
The effect is great, amazing card.
Ooh, I do LOVE the drama of a black card with a glorious pop of colour Loll! Fabulous background! When I look at this, it conjures up a picture of a stormy sky in a corn field (I know it's not corn, but that is the picture that comes to mind). Gorgeous! Have a great day! Luv n’ Hugs. Hazel xx

What a striking card, Loll! I'm so happy for you that you are having so much fun with these inks. Amazing that you can see all the colors in that background piece. This against the black is just stunning. Wow! :)
I love the oxide ink smoosh with the black card and die cut, Loll! Very dramatic!
WOW...love all the color in this one Loll and how you used the black background to make it all pop! And after yesterdays post, I couldn't stand it and had to go online and order some of the Oxide inks rather than wait for them to show up in my local stores...now I can't wait for my order to arrive! Thanks for all the enabling Loll!! :0)
Wow Loll what a dramatic card! The colours look fan against the black card.

Beautiful card. I love all those layers of color and they blend beautifully.
Simplicity at its most beautiful. Glad you got the oxides, and what another fab tool in your arsenal of artistic tricks. This is just lovely (and don't the oxides blend so smoothly too!) TFS & Hugs.
Those colors are outstanding! You always choose such gorgeous combinations and achieve some of the most spectacular results I have seen. Love the simple die cut against this beautiful smooshed background.
Wow, i am so loving your background with the oxide inks Loll! So beautiful is this card. That background just shines though so beautifully with the black framing it and I love your leaves in black too. Just beautiful! Hugs, Brenda
What a beauty Loll - keep playing :-)
Blessings

I'm loving what you're doing with the Distress Oxides .... these colours look amazing together and against the black they really pop! xx
The colors of your background really show through with the black overlay of stem and framing Loll - aren't these inks fun to play with!! Julia xx
Have fun playing, Loll. I love seeing your results. I need to get mine out and play too.
I love how the colors pop against the black background and that we can see every color that you used on this card! Really stunning results, Loll! Thanks for inspiring me to get my Oxide inks out for a play :)
