*Video Tutorial – Distress Oxides: 5 ways with 1 stamp set + Sale

Distress Oxides are so fun and unique because they are a hybrid blend. Meaning, you can do lots with them. In addition to some of the well known techniques like stamping, watercoloring and ink blending – you can also layer colors on top of each other without them blending together… You just have to make sure the ink is dry before going over it with another color! Let’s check out the video I have that shows you 5 different ways to use the oxides using the same stamp set.

A few close ups of the cards featured in the video:

So what do you think??? Do you have oxides? Do you like them? I did find all the oxides on sale. If you want to take advantage of the sale, click HERE!

October Florals two ways: Essentials by Ellen New Release BLOG HOP

Welcome to the Essentials by Ellen November Release! There are so many adorable sets in this release, the snowman and the Sasquatch especially… The Design Team has made some amazing projects using them! The snowman die makes really cute felt ornaments so I am thrilled to announce Ellen Hutson has a new line of felt as well! Lots of felt collections strategically organized by color themes.

None of those items mentioned above I’ve used in today’s post, lol! You’ve got loads of inspiration with those goodies so I thought I would focus on the next installment to the Mondo line…. Introducing Mondo Chrysanthemum. I stamped and die cut the flower and leaves from some pre-made alcohol ink backgrounds I always have on hand… I found some gold cardstock in my stash and applied a thick layer of the NEW NUVO GLACIER PASTE

Adding the texture to the background is an easy way to make your focal point of your card pop, which in this case is the flower!

Next up, Voices in my Head 2. I adore this set…. So many fun and snarky quotes. I loosely colored some florals around the edges of the card and stamped one of the sentiments from the set in the middle of the card.
