Obsessed with Distress Oxides: One Set Four Ways with Michelle


Michelle is up on the blog today showcasing four fabulous ways to create with our Leafy Background Stamp! Check out her full post below!

----

You can do pretty much anything with this stamp!!!!

One of my favorite craft must-haves is coordinating paper!!!
If I don't have any on hand.... I can color some up with Distress Oxide Ink!!!

First Card


Here's how to create this look:
  1. Select your colored cardstock. I chose light pink.
  2. Die cut two tags and set them aside.
  3. Heat emboss the leafy background stamp onto the colored cardstock.
  4. Select your ink. I chose Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink.
  5. Ink up the embossed cardstock. 
  6. Use a die to cut any shape.
Finishing touches: I added some splatters of gold paint, added my sentiment, adhered my tags with a twine bow, and scattered some sequins.


DESIGN TIP: I made sure to fade the ink on the top and bottom for an ombre effect.

Card Two
This card uses the same technique and same steps. I used Peeled Paint Distress Oxide ink.

DESIGN TIP: Always test the ink on cardstock first to see if you like the desired color. 


Have fun mixing and matching cardstock and ink...the possibilities are endless!!!

Card Three


Ombré backgrounds are a very popular technique!

Here's how to create this look:
  1. Choose two complimenting distress oxide inks.
  2. Heat emboss the image.
  3. Ink up the top and bottom portions of the embossed paper. 
  4. Keep it darker at the edges and lighter toward the center.
Finishing touches: I added a few splatters of white paint and finished my card off with sentiments, gold thread and sequins.

Card Four


Here's how to create this look:
  1. Heat emboss the stamped image onto watercolor cardstock.
  2. Lightly wet the cardstock.
  3. Add Distress Oxides with a paintbrush and some water.
  4. Colors Used: Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry, and Carved Pumpkin.
  5. I trimmed up the bottom part of the watercolored leaves so they appeared to be cascading.
DESIGN TIP: Deposit saturated color at the base of the leaf... add very little water to the brush and pull the color to the tip of the leaf. 

Thanks for stopping by!!!!

Hope you give any of these techniques a try and don't forget to show us!!!!!

Fruity Friends - One Set Four Ways with Tatiana
Today on the blog, Tatiana will be sharing one of the newest Craftin Desert Divas Sets, Fruity Friends, four different ways! This new monthly series will show you how to take one of our sets and stretch it for more than one occasion or style.

--------
I'm so thrilled to be on the Craftin Desert Divas blog today with a special post featuring brand new and sooooooo adorable stamp set from the Craftin Desert Divas new July Release!!!

This is a jam-packed post filled with lots of pictures so let's start with the first card colored with Copic markers.

Card #1

I chose some cute fruity characters from set and stamped them with a . Next, I proceeded with coloring and finally fussy cut everything with , leaving a little white edge around.

The complete list of Copic markers used on Card #1: 

Skin E0000-E01-E02-E11-R20; YG00-YG01-YG13-YG25-YG95; R02-R05; 
Hair Y21-YR24-YR29-E39; Y11-Y15-Y17-YR24; E33; BG00.
Working on the layout, I die-cut three stitched frames from , added a soft coat of Distress Oxide ink and a fun dotted pattern through Sorted Shapes Stencil with a plain .



Card #2


Next, we have a soft watercolor scene.


I switched to a Bristol paper and stamped a few adorable girls from along with some small images from stamp sets with a .


Before coloring, I also prepared some die cuts for the background using the same Bristol paper, and .
Finally, I could enjoy watercoloring the whole card with watercolor pencils from Prima. "The Basics" 12 piece set was more than enough for this card since you can stretch any color and create a variety of shades by adding less or more water.


Card #3

My third example is this colorful and bright shaker card.


Again, I started with a Bristol paper and a . The Zig Clean Colour Real Brush markers gave a totally different look to this card since they have incredible, juicy colors.

Here's the complete list of all the colors used:

n.51 Lemon Yellow - n.50 Yellow - n.25 Pale Pink - n.26 Light Pink - Peach Pink - Dark Pink - n.40 Green - n.46 Mid Green - n.71 Flesh Colour - n.61 Light Brown - n.64 Oatmeal


Assembling the shaker part, I prepared a watercolor background and filled the circle window with mix.



Card #4

Last but not least, I created a colorful fruity background using small stamps from set. I love to play with small stamps and give them the main focus on my cards. A patterned background is one of the easiest ways to do that.

I stamped a whole bunch of images on a watercolor paper, took my regular watercolors and tried to make a non-perfect (even a bit splotchy) watercolor look. 

Next, I decided to transform my pattern into a scalloped circle card with and added the heat embossed sentiment from the same set on a fish-tailed banner.


I hope this post inspired you to stretch your craft supplies and get more use of the same stamp set. There are so many ways to use these sweet images!
