Hello and Welcome.
Trying out something new today using my Distress Oxide inks.
A friend of mine gave me a stack of HP photo paper that she couldn't use. I wanted to try and use it for my card and after watching a few videos on YouTube I was off to try this fun and simple technique.
So like I said, I began with a piece of photo paper. I inked up a sheet of acetate with my Distress Oxide inks, sprayed with water and pressed onto the paper. You are left with a chalky looking inking. I let that dry for a moment, then placed the piece inside my Misti. These feathers are one of my favs from Technique Junkies so I inked it up with more DOX and stamped it over the bkg.
Now for the magic part......I took a baby wipe and wiped over the surface of the whole card. Amazing, it just all wiped away the chalky look and revealed wonderfully bright colour.
So simple yet effective.
I then stamped the sentiment and done.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

ReplyDeletedon't you just love it when you wipe off the muted chalky residue and get this wonderful Vibrant image. Gorgeous Karen :)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Karen. I made a background fairly recently using glossy paper but I used ordinary distress inks, so must try it with the oxides as it looks phenomenal. x
ReplyDeleteOH! WOW! I've tried stamping onto photo paper and it didn't work at all, it seems I need different inks? LOL. FABULOUS result Karen.
