Hi everyone, I made up some more backgrounds with glossy photo paper and distress oxide inks.
I love this technique as you never know what you're going to end up with.
I put oxide ink on my craft mat, spritzed with water then smooshed the glossy photo paper into it. When it's dry, use a baby wipe or a damp cloth to remove the chalky residue.
I wanted to play along with a few challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday bright cheerful colours.
Dies R Us, anything goes. The feather die is from Hero Arts.
Hero Arts layering feather die; distress oxide inks; glossy photo paper; Darice crackle embossing folder; Paper Smooches sentiment sampler stamp; versafine ink & clear ep.
Thanks for visiting,
