Swipe Your Credit Card

Good Morning.

Today, I am hosting the Technique Lovers Challenge at 

Splitcoast Stampers.

I am calling this Challenge 'Swipe Your Credit Card'.

After making this card last week using the Distress Oxide inks and a credit card, I though it would make for a fun mini-tutorial and a challenge.  It is pretty simple to do and the nice thing is that you most likely have all the supplies already on hand.

 I have 2 cards I made using this technique.

This first one was done using Distress Oxides inks in four different colours.

Just a hint, I used a heavy weight cardstock instead of watercolour paper so the ink would sit on top of the paper and not soak in. 

I rubbed the ink directly onto my non-stick craft sheet, sprayed with water and dipped just the edge of my credit card into the ink and then dragged it across my paper.

I touched the edges of my credit card onto my black ink pad to create the black lines on my card and some white acrylic paint for the others.

I added the Tim Holtz die cut flowers some flowers from Memory Box across the bottom and used a stitched frame die on the edges.

So now onto my second card.

For those of you that have not ventured into the world of Oxides, I wanted to give this technique a try using my regular Distress inks.  I figured most of you had at least some of these inks on hand or others that were water-based. 
I will say that the Oxides do layer better then the regular Distress inks.

I did exactly the same technique as above but this time, I stamped on my card front instead of using the die-cuts.  By using the Misti, it was easy to get good coverage when I repeat stamped a few times.

I added some white acrylic paint splatters to this one too and stamped a sentiment as well.
