I am just getting excited to use my NEW Distress Oxide Inks, so I wanted to make a card using the new inks I've never played with before. I pulled out Spiced Marmalade and Black Soot Distress Oxide™ Ink Pads.
I cut some White Daisy Cardstock to 4 x 5.25 inches and started to play.
Spiced marmalade was first. I just rubbed the ink pad all over the paper leaving some some white spaces. Then i sprayed with water and splashed some droplets of water with my Medium Round Waterbrush. In some of the places I wiped the water off with a tissue.
Second part I did the smooshing technique, I put the Black soot and spiced marmalade directly onto the All-purpose Mat and then sprayed some water onto it and then dipped the paper onto it and waited for it to dry. I kept dipping it until I was happy with the finished product. So quick and easy and quite striking.
I was thinking I would use the new Olive Branches Background Thin Cuts but I didn't love how it covered so much of the paper I had created. So I put it underneath to get the nice stitched edge.
This background thin cut was cut with Avocado Cardstock on the light side. I also cut the base star from Avocado Cardstock and the tags and title banner from it as well.
Ink stamped in Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad.
In the end I decided to make a shaker card with my most favourite new product
Star Shaker Window Thin Cuts with Star Shaker Window Foam + Acetate . (we also have a NEW Heart Shaker window thin cut too).
I love how these also come with small stars and framed stars as part of it. I cut them out of Black cardstock and then used All the pieces on the two cards (all pictured below, the extra star with star cutouts is shown in the photo. I stuck the extra stars on the side with
Dual-tip Permanent Glue Pen and then Gold Loose Sequins that I stuck on with Glue Dots® I was super happy with how my Shaker card came out.
The titles are from the limited edition Animated Butterfly Kisses Stamp set that is available this month for National Stamping Month promotion.
