and the theme for this week is...
STENCIL IT
I love stencils...they are truly my go-to favourites when it comes to creating depth and interest on backgrounds so I looked out my Dylusions Journal for some fun playtime with Distress Oxide inks. I started off with a light wash of Cracked Pistachio applied with a baby wipe and then smooshed (technical term) Cracked Pistachio and Fossilized Amber on to a small piece of non-stick craft mat, spritzed with water and pounced the mat on to the pages...dried with the heat tool and repeated until I was happy with the coverage.
Ringer from Set 7 using Worn Lipstick and the beautiful Roses from Set 25 using Cracked Pistachio...I just love how the Distress Oxide colours layer over each other...
I die cut flowers from Sizzix/Tim Holtz Wildflowers 2 Thinlits and coloured with Worn Lipstick...Fossilized Amber and Cracked Pistachio...
fixed to the journal page with Distress Collage Medium Matte. I also stamped the background with the script stamp from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Victorian using Potting Soil Archival Ink...
added Idea-ology Butterfly Design Tape...
and created shadows around the Wildflowers with the Walnut Stain Distress Marker using Ranger's Detailer Brush...
cut the sentiment into sections and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium Matte...
And if you love Distress Oxides as much as I do...Tim will be sharing with us the 12 new colours joining the Oxide family soon on Facebook Live today...9.00am PT/12.00 noon ET/5.00pm if you're in the UK and 6.00pm in Europe...woohoo...I've got my front row seat booked...hope to see you there.
