Believe

After watching a Tim Holtz video yesterday, I decided to give the Distress Oxide inks a try on Glossy White cardstock. What you can't see in the photo is the overall shiny look to the card.  I must say that I do like the look of them on the glossy.

It was a bit of a learning curve for me but I am happy with the outcome.  One of the thing I discovered is once completely dry, the color will rub off on your fingers.  To eliminate this for the recipient, I simply went over it gently with a paper towel.  It took off all the "chalky" feel and left a very nice shiny look.  It's the only time I have known these inks to rub off.  On the other papers I've used them on that does not happen.  By completely dry, I mean that I dried each layer of color I applied with my heat tool then, set it aside to dry overnight.

Stamp Set:  Believe (Momenta); Distress Oxide Inks:  Faded Jeans, Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint, Spiced Marmalade, Vintage Photo, Wilted Violet, Worn Lipstick (Tim Holtz); Cardstock:  Always Artichoke, Glossy White (both Stampin' Up!); Other:  Sequins, White Blizzard Glitter Drops (Nuvo)

Easter Cross for The Friday Mashup Challenge #245

You know, they say that all good things must come to an end but it saddens me that one of my favorite challenges is closing down.  The Friday Mashup Challenge has been a favorite of mine for such a long time.  I'm really going to miss you all.  I want to say that all the wonderful challenges you offered up gave me the opportunity to become a better artist.  Thank You!

For my card I used a Soft Suede card base.  The Crushed Curry layers are from the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper.  I sponged around and over it with some Delightful Dijon and was so pleased with the result.  The sun in the background is from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set and the sentiment from the Just Believe stamp set are stamped using Cajun Craze ink.  The Vine Cross is a single stamp from Our Daily Bread.  It's stamped using Cajun Craze ink.  The ribbon is from American Crafts and has just a bit of shimmer to it.  The final step was to add a few Pearl Basic Jewels.

Stampin' Up!® product unless otherwise noted.
