Playing with some new things.......

I added a couple more distress oxide inks to my collection and wanted to have another play with them.


supplies: white cardstock, Bristol paper, worn lipstick, spiced marmalade, fossilized amber, cracked pistachio, broken china, and wilted violet distress oxide inks, ink blending tool, water, Simon's Scripty Greetings, embossed in white, Impression Obsession Ornate Oval Frame, Hero Arts heart dies

I started by sponging my inks onto a piece of Bristol paper.  Then I spritzed the panel with water and dried it to blend the colors.  Next I took each ink individually, mixed it with water, and splatted each color across the panel with a paint brush.

I just received this gorgeous Ornate Frame, and thought it would show off nicely against my panel.  For a simple ending, I stamped the sentiment and added some little hearts.

These colors are beautiful, blend together effortlessly, and I'd encourage you to give them a try!
