It’s Linda, I’m super SUPER excited to be here today as guest designer for this month!
I created a card that is simple, but really shows off the amazing products I used. Distress Oxides. Have you tried them yet?! I only needed to see one video of them in use and I was smitten. I’ve had them for a few weeks now and I’ve barely stopped playing with them–seriously amazing!!
I wanted to really show how they stand ‘up’ off dark cardstock.
Here is my card:
For stamps, I used the delightful Hero Arts set Road Trip (https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/277077318/hero-arts-road-trip-cl973-clear-stamps?ga_search_query=road+trip&ref=shop_items_search_2)
I coloured the images in with Copic markers, that I matched to the swipes of Oxide. I then fussy cut around them, leaving a small white border. I added some white detail to the caravan and tent using a Molotow Paint Pen (but you could use these https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Uni-Ball-Pen-Signo-Gel-WHITE-Two-Pack-1919994-1919994U?currency=USD).
The sentiment, I stamped in Versamark ink, then heatset using Hero Arts White embossing powder.
That’s it! Super quick and easy, but thanks to the oxides, it turned out so effectively.
Thanks for joining me! I hope you’ll come back again soon
Linda

I love this. I think I have to invest in some Distress Oxides now. This is super looking on the black card stock.

Great use of the Oxide inks! I never thought of using them like that, but it’s definitely effective to give interest to a CAS card. Thanks for sharing this! 🙂 ~ Andrea
