Nat is setting the challenge at
Daring Cardmakers this week and she'd like to see some ink blending going on.
I've resisted the lure of the new Distress Oxides so I reached for my trusty old Distress inks and a sponge, splattered some water and then sat and looked at it for ages, completely at a loss what to do with it. I ended up going very simple with a stamped image and a "hidden" die cut sentiment. The word is intended for Christmas cards but I thought it would suit a peaceful image, too!
Stamps:
My Island by Waltzingmouse Stamps (no longer with us but this set is now available through Gina K)
Paper:
Smooth white
Ink:
Tim Holtz Distress ink by Ranger (Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, Seedless Preserves)
Brilliance by Tsukineko (Graphite Black)
Other:
Die from Peace Stamp & Cut by Hero Arts
Corner Chomper
Black marker
Thanks for stopping by, hope your weekend is a peaceful one!

Funnily enough, this is the kind of thing I was working on that didn't quite turn out as I wanted. Yours is great - love the colour combo Joanne! Shabneez x
Stunning use of colours Joanne, I absolutely love this take on that WMS palm tree stamp - I think it could definitely work as a Christmas card too. Fab stuff and A+ blending skills with the original Distress Inks!
It takes me ages to blend those (but could be down to the card I tried it with which just sucked the ink up) and I still have a big gap of colours in my collection from the full original release which I am gradually building up with the mini cubes. I actually originally bought Distress Inks for stamping with because of the lush colours that no one else was offering. I like both ink formulas for different reasons, but have to say I find it easier to blend what I want with the Oxides so hoping more colours keep coming out. :)
Stunning! The way you've incorporated the sentiment is just marvelous. Love it.
lovely blending - most envious of this skill!
