Masking with Distress Oxide Sprays

February 27, 2019

Hi there! Today I have a couple projects to share with you that I’ve created experimenting with masking using Distress Oxide Sprays.

SSS-CZ Love You-Distress Oxide Sprays

For this first card I simply masked off straight lines and overlapped the sprays to give it that gorgeous combination of colors. The colors of Oxide Sprays that I used are: Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon & Cracked Pistachio.

SSS-CZ Love You-Distress Oxide Sprays

For the sentiment I used the CZ Love You word dies along with a few Studio Katia sequins.

For this next card I used a heart mask that I created with one of the Ornate Love hearts dies and some acetate. This could be so much fun to do with various shapes like maybe triangles for a fun geometric design.

SSS-Everyday Words on a Line-Distress Oxide Sprays

For the sentiment I used one of the Everyday Words on a Line dies. Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.

I’m feeling pretty much addicted to these oxide sprays at the moment, and have more ideas than time. If only I had a cook and a house cleaner and a nanny, lol! I hope you enjoyed! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mama Elephant-Birdie Wreath

February 27, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Mama Elephant blog featuring the adorable new Birdie Wreath set.

Mama Elephant-Birdie Wreath & Hippity Hop

To begin I stamped several of the images from Birdie Wreath as well as the banner image from Hippity Hop and colored them with Copics. Then I used the coordinating creative cuts to die them out.

For the background I blended Distress Oxides in Spun Sugar, Wild Honey & Squeezed Lemonade onto Neenah Solar White cardstock. Then I used foam tape to pop up the images over the ink blended background.

I added some Nuvo Jewel Drops in Rose Water, Orange Marmalade & Limoncello here and there for accents. Those Nuvo Drops are dangerous. Once you get started, it’s almost impossible to stop!

I think this would make a perfect wedding or even baby card. Hope you have a wonderful day! Thanks so much for stopping by!

SSS-Everyday Words on a Line, Ornate Love & Distress Oxide Sprays

Hey there! Today I have a fun project to share where I experimented with the Distress Oxide Sprays. These are so much fun to used, although I have MUCH to learn! Once I sprayed the background with Mermaid Lagoon & Cracked Pistachio I turned it into a card using the hearts from Ornate Love, a sentiment from Everyday Words on a Line & Tiny Words. I also added a few gorgeous Studio Katia sequins.

Pinkfresh Studio-Inked Florals, Oval Foliage

For this first card I stamped the floral outlines from Inked Florals with Versafine Onyx Black ink and stamped the solid floral blooms using Mama Elephant pigment inks. I added a sentiment from Oval Foliage and framed the design using pattern paper from the Joyful Day collection.

Pinkfresh Studio-Inked Florals & Joyful Day Puffy Phrases Stickers

Hi there! Today I’m joining Mama Elephant as they highlight the adorable new Little Chickie Agenda set.

To begin I used the Circular Grid-Creative Cut to die cut a panel. I trimmed the panel into a square and popped it up over Ivory cardstock. Then I used the Gatefold X Fence-Creative Cuts to make the sweet picket fence closures.

Hi there! Have you seen the awesome new March 2019 Card Kit, Lucky Rainbow? It is right up my rainbowlicious alley!!!

Simon Says Stamp-March 2019 Card Kit

My first card features the Amazing stamp set included in the kit. I am so giddy about this card because it’s been far to long since I’ve made a one-layer wonder, and I gotta say, it feels darn good.

I used Mama Elephant pigment inks for this, keeping it very clean and simple and stamping a bold black sentiment from the Amazing set.
