Feather- Photo Paper and Baby Wipes

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.

Good Morning.

Meet today's card inspired by the challenge at Splitcoast Stampers this morning; to create a card using your birthstone colour.  Fun, right?

Since my birthday is January 1st, (yes, I'm a New Year's baby) so my colour is Garnet.  For those of you that don't know, Garnet is a deep shade of red.

So onto my card.  I do love playing around with my Distress Oxide inks.  I did some acetate inking along the side of my card front using Fired Brick and Candied apple DOX ink.  To see a pictorial of this technique go HERE.

Next, I took out my Circles Make Circles stencil and added some stenciling along the side of my card using more of the Fired Brick.  Next I randomly inked up my Graffiti stamp and pressed that over the inked area just to add some more interest and texture.

I placed the piece inside my Misti and stamped the sentiment and the silhouette and clear heat embossed to help make them pop against the bkg.

I mounted the piece onto some black cardstock then onto a plain white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Meet today's card.

No Stamping...can you believe it!!??

The challenge at Splitcoast today did it to me.  It's called, "Look Ma, No Stamping".

 So this is the very simple card I came up with. 

I started with a piece of Yupo paper.  It is unlike any paper as it is a synthetic, waterproof paper with unique qualities and ideal for using with Alcohol inks.  It has a plastic coating so when ink is applied, you never know what results you will achieve.  The ink goes where it wants.

I dropped Alcohol inks onto the paper and used some Ranger Alcohol Blending Solution to help move the inks around.  When dry, I cut the piece into panels and mounted them in an interesting layout on my card front.

I die-cut the 'smile' with heavy white cs then glued it over the panels.

Quick and easy card to make.
