So, I'd picked up the first 12 of the Distress oxide inks and thought to create something stunning with them. I'm not sure that this qualifies, but I really enjoyed the creating.
The Distress Oxides are so creamy and smooth. They go onto Bristol paper (all elements in this card...) so well and they stamp neatly too. I die cut the balloon using my Studio Katia Dotted Balloons dies to cut one big balloon out of the center of my card. I then layered the Distress oxides, creating a smooth transition by going back over the areas. A little splattered water makes a nice finish.
I just love how the ink coordinates to stamp the sentiment. Crisp, clear and easier to read in person than my photography shows. I've wanted to make a window card like this for quite a while and was pleasantly pleased with how this turned out.
Wow, a second card this week with no flowers. I'm going to link up to the City Crafter Challenge Blog: You Don't Bring Me Flowers challenge, Simon Say Stamp's Wednesday Challenge: Add A Sentiment and Word Art Wednesday's Challenge296/297: Anything Goes.
