Using Oxide Ink & Distress Ink Together with Water
Hi all! Kristina Werner here. :)
Today I have a video and card for you featuring the use of Distress Oxides Inks and the original Distress Inks with water. I’ve always loved creating backgrounds with the Distress Inks, so adding in the Oxides was a lot of fun!
When I first started this card, I planned to only use Distress Oxide Inks, but as you’ll see in the video, I wanted to intensify the colors a bit to let the embossed stamping stand out more. So I added layers of Distress Ink as well.
Speaking of the stamping, I used Simon’s Seeing Stars stamp set for the images and greeting on this card.
To create the greeting area, I stamped the sentiments from the stamp set on vellum and white heat embossed them. I adhered the stamped vellum piece to another sheet of vellum (to make the vellum be more opaque) using Connect Glue from Gina K. Then I ran the double-vellum piece through a Xyron Sticker Maker to apply adhesive to the entire surface. This allowed me to adhere the vellum to the card without adhesive showing.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoy the card video. :)

This turned out to be beautiful with the different layers of color. Thanks for the great tip for adhering the vellum. I had tried it with the Xyron sticker maker but didn’t like the look. I think the double layer of vellum would have made the difference.
Awesome card. Love the color combo.
Thanks for sharing.
Ooooh, love this card! Such a great showcase of that stamp set!
Just love the soft colors in the starry sky – different but really pretty! Also think the double velum is a technique I can use often.
Love the beautiful background for the

Gorgeous card! I love mixing my original Distress with the Oxide inks!!
Love how you mixed the inks! Such a beautiful card!
I use Oxide and regular Distress ink together all the time because I don’t have all the Oxide ink pads. They do blend well together but I can really see the difference between the two when I try to blend them. The Oxide ink is so easy to blend. Beautiful card ! TFS
Very pretty! Thanks for sharing your tips! It was also fun seeing you use the older stamp set!
