Distress Oxide are sooooo nice.

Hi all,

Well, it has been a long time hasn't it, I'm  sorry about that.

Any how, back to the title of this post, as many of you know good old Tim has done it again, brought out a new product that all us crafters want to get our crafty little hands on!



I managed to get me little ole crafty hands on a set of the new Oxide Inks, oh boy are they fun to use.

I scooted over to Youtube to watch a load of videos so I could gather as much info as I can on these great ink pads. They are really different to the original Distress inks, these have a more muted, softer look.

These inks blend like a dream. Creating a smooth, almost chalk like feel to them even though they are not a chalk based ink.

Here are a few pictures of what I have done so far, I am sure there will be more coming soon!

The picture below has been made using Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose, Worn Lipstick Oxide Ink and Perfect Pearl Spray.

Here is a picture to show you what the reaction looks like when you sprinkle water on top of the Distress Oxide ink.




I made a quick tag, using Tim Holtz Mini Stencils, Distress Oxide inks in Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade and Wilted Violet. I also used a stamp set by Tim Holtz called Flower Garden.



Well I hope you have a good day, I am off now to play some more.

Love this die set..................................

Hi all,

I hope you are all well, on this cold and dreary day.

I have a beautiful card to share with you today, using some new dies that Becca Feeken has designed and they are available from Oysterstamps .





Hope Perches

I have used the following:



I hope you like my latest creation, I followed Becca video on how to create the flowers, I just used some pearl beads and wire I found in my craft room that as most of you do "had for ages" lol.

Happy Crafting

So given a challenge is something I love to do, especially when it comes to crafting, I wanted to make something that was "outside of the box".

So here it is.



I have to say it definitely was a challenge, although I really enjoyed making it.
