This was a great video! Your ink blending is beautiful. I struggle sometimes s and am excited to give your few suggestions a try. I like all the cards but I particular love the gold wheat card. Thanks for sharing.
A great technique; I love to do this one… and great results!
Gorgeous, rich backgrounds. I love the variation in colour and visual texture and they look wonderful behind those die cuts!
These are absolutely stunning
Your backgrounds are fabulous! I do love my Distress inks, but after blending I usually have to blast them with water just to cover my uneven blending-lol. Thanks for an idea filled video!
I love ALL these cards, especially the red with the kangaroos. I loved watching the video, I liked the trick with the acetate.
These are all beautiful. Your ink blending is always perfect. Love the Kangaroo silhouette die – gorgeous!
I love all the things you can do with distress inks and the oxides, too! Super product! Made your cards incredible!
I’m definitely going to try some of these out. I usually just ink blend or watercolor with my Distress inks but I love some of your other ideas. Those birds are so cool. Love the colors. Thanks for sharing your fun techniques!
Just what I needed! I love the rich colors and can never achieve them… LOVE the video
I’m new to distress inks, so this was a great learning video for me.
What beautiful backgrounds and very lovely cards!!!
I love to do distress backgrounds and watercolor my images with the Distress Inks!!
Beautiful cards! thank you for the video!
I loved seeing the different techniques. I am going to watch it again and take notes. I tend to do that same things all the time, so this was just perfect. I have been forgetting to even use my Distress Inks…Great ideas, and really, thank you again!
Awesome cards! Thanks for the video! I love Distress Oxide Inks and love blending then spritzing with H20 and also mopping up spritzed color from acetate!
thanks for the tips.
Great cards.

I love my Distress Inks and don’t even have the oxides. I love to blend the colors (usually with a brush) and to use the smooshing technique (because I’m never quite sure what the result will be)! Thanks. This is a fun series.
Fun video–great cards! I usually just blend my DI & DO, but you’ve reminded me how fun the acrylic block technique is!
Beautiful backgrounds. Can’t wait to try your tips!
Beautiful card! I just discovered paper rose this morning and then I see this post featuring their products! Great minds… I adore the Auzzie twist on many of their items (Santa with a kangaroo team pulling it). I will be getting a few of these.
Awesome variety of cards using different distress oxide ink techniques! Thanks for sharing Jessica.
Great cards. Love the technique.
WOW great cards and tips:)
Beautiful blending and cards! Thank you so much for this post.I love my distress and distress oxide inks, but I know I don’t use them to their full potential. I struggle with blending, and your suggestion to use the Strathmore paper will hopefully make a difference for me.
You will be AMAZED at how easy it is to blend on strathmore bristol. It is a total game changer!!
I love your beautiful cards! I really like the ink on the stamp block technique- I’m definitely going to give that a try. I just got back from Australia so these Paper Rose products really appeal to me.
Oh Jessica, it is definitely time to expand my Distress Ink collection and options for how I use them. I tend to mostly blend with them but now that I have seen this, I am going to try some of these techniques in my art journal to play with these ideas. I have to say, I have never heard of this ‘new to me’ stamp company but will definitely be checking them out. Thanks so much for sharing such a great series!
These are so cool! :)
Gorgeous set of cards, Jessica! I really love the one with the red sky and the silhouette of the kangaroo and koala… So pretty!
Stunning cards!!! Fabulous backgrounds!!!
Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful blends, fantastic cards!
Love my distress inks. Both the original and the oxides… even though I don’t have “all the colours”, lol, they still work so well for me! Their versatility is amazing… and you made some fab cards with them, too! The third one is a stunner!
I love seeing 5 different techniques in one video! I love the ink blending but am not so good at it (I’ll try your suggestion of Bristol). My favorite currently is using it like watercolors. Thanks for the great post!
Fantastic ink blending. Great video. Thank you for all the great tips.
Awesome backgrounds! Thank you for sharing the info :)
Thanks for reminding me of these techniques and introducing me to those new stamps. Fabulous looks.
Each of these is so pretty! I need to experiment more!
Beautiful cards and great video, I love how you used the acetate!
LOVE LOVE LOVE distress inks. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. Great technique refresher and inspired me to
get blending!!
Great cards Jess, I love this serie!
Fortuitous I had my Distress ink on my desk when I was looking your video. After this I wanted to finish a card for a friend. I used white cardstock in to an embossing folder. After I have made it through my machine I use my blending tool and Distress ink Peacock Feathers to give only the raised areas colour.
That is one of the ways I use Distress ink, I also love to colour images with it.
Thanks for todays post.
Beautiful cards, Jess! Some great tips – I especially love that you inked the acetate above the die cut for color placement. Sometimes the easiest tips are the ones I really need!!
I love distress ink, I am going to have to try out these techniques. Thanks so much for the video!
Wow!!! Really Awesome techniques!!! Gorgeous cards!!
Love the pretty colors.
A very beautiful array of techniques. Love the gorgeous cards.
Wonderful cards and great ideas on the video!
Love distress inks for all the reasons mentioned. Awesome video. x
I love the designs of your cards and all the vibrant colors you used.
Fun ideas, Distress Inks are my favorite inks. I already follow by email.
Stunning. Jessica has used these inks beautifully!
