Distress Oxide Ink Blending Combos - Week 1

I have seen and been impressed by a few people sharing their results from this project, so followed their links to Kristina Werner's blog to find out more about it. You will find details and a video there to inspire. I decided to join in the fun, making the four colour combos for this week. 

I plan to make my samples into cards so have made them big enough to do this. I have treated them all with different techniques. I used Distress Oxide Inks, Mini Round Blending Tools and foam pads all purchased from Papermaze. I purchased the Neenah Classic Crest Solar White from Crafter's Companion.

Oxide Combo 1 - Scattered Straw, Worn Lipstick & Festive Berries

The blended card was cut with a Sizzix stacked Postage Thinlits die and the balloons were cut with dies from Crafter's Companion. The greeting stamps is from Woodware.

I used an Echo Park stencil and a baby wipe to lift colour off the card after blending.

Oxide Combo 2 - Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon & Fired Brick

I treated this blended card with a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil and some Translucent Texture Paste. It was cut with a Sizzix Stacked Deckle die. The greeting is an Avery Elle stamp.

Oxide Combo 3 - Tattered Rose, Abandoned Coral & Seedless Preserves

Before Blending I used a Woodware stamp and Versamark Ink with White embossing powder.
I lifted ink from inside the stamped image with a brush and water.

Oxide Combo 4 - Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry & Wilted Violet

Once blended I stamped with Versamark and black embossing powder, using another Woodware stamp. The greeting stamp is from Avery Elle. Trimmed with a Sizzix stitched stacked die.

Looking forward to next week's colour combinations.
Thanks for looking
