Distress Oxides With Dark Cardstock (by Jodie)

Good morning everyone,

Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during these crazy times. I'm creating my next project for Chocolate Baroque and I hope it provides a bit of inspiration for your creative imagination.

I'm continuing with the flower theme, this time using inks as a painting medium.

Supplies:

Stamps- Loving Sentiments Rubber stamp sheet-A5, Floral Perfumery Rubber Stamp sheet-A5

Distress Oxide inks

Versamark Watermark stamp pad

Versafine Onyx Black

White embossing powder

Paper- Black cardstock, light blue cardstock, dark blue cardstock

Waterbrush- Detailer tip

Double sided foam tape

Heat tool

Silver photo corner stickers 

Stamp the image onto black cardstock with Versamark ink. Sprinkle on white embossing powder, tapping off excess. Heat set the powder with your heat gun.

Taking the Distress ink pad, smush it onto a non stick surface.

Then pick up the colour with your waterbrush and begin painting in the image.

The unique thing about the Distress Oxide inks is that they are opaque on dark coloured cardstock and dry permanent.

Use less water if you want to have deeper colours.

You may have to go over certain areas a few times to create depth of colour, and remember to let each layer dry before adding the next coat.

Once piece is dry, fussy cut out the image, leaving a small border.

Cut the black cardstock to 5 1/4" x 10 1/2" (13.34cm x 26.67cm) and fold in half.

Cut a piece of light blue cardstock to 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" (11.43cm x 11.43cm) and layer onto cardstock base. 

Next cut dark blue cardstock, 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" (10.80cm x 10.80cm) and place onto card.

Attach image onto card using foam tape, towards right side of card.

Stamp the saying onto the white cardstock with the Archival ink, and mat with light blue cardstock.

Attach the saying to the front, then adhere the photo corner stickers.
