Distress Oxide water resist.

I made another card. It didn't exactly turn out the way I wanted it to. I think I used too much water on this stamp! I ordered this stamp without looking at the measurements and I was shocked when it came in and was so little. Lesson learned ALWAYS CHECK THE DETAILS WHEN YOUR BUYING SOMETHING. I knew it was too good of a deal. oh well. Also I didn't use my "wrmk version of the misti" I can't remember what they call it. So anyway my resist didn't turn out EXACTLY like I wanted it. But it ended up working with the card, FIRST I colored my card with " Salty ocean".At the top and "Broken China" at the bottom of the piece of watercolor cardstock. I just wiped the inks across the cardstock till it filled in. Then blended the two with the mini blender tool. ( This way I didn't have to switch out the pads on the blender tool. I am waiting for some to come in) I also wiped over it with a clean DRY cloth (no fuzzies) to get the access color off.

Next I got my stamp ready to stamp the ink.

I would be using the resist method (its not hard you simply spray the stamp with a LITTLE water and stamp it. DOnt use too much water as I think I did it will smear your image) looking back I should have used my WRMK tool thats like the MISTI I probably would have had a better stamped image. I will try again and use that.

See how the image is smeared. I think that is from the water running and not using the tool. But I'm gonna try to make it work any way. (it was supposed to be flowers.) I had a scrap piece of paper that was perfect to go down the middle. MY mom is in lockdown at her assisted living facility (yes someone got covid) and is struggling. So I like to send her encouragement. So I intend to send her this card so I used these encouraging stickers I had in my stash.

I also Inked a cardstock butterfly that my friend Anne Lambert sent me in a Swap.

I added some Jewels from BO BUNNY to my butterfly right down the middle 3 tiny ones. TO help it look even more pretty.

ANd Thats the finished card. Its ready to mail. OH BY the way I dried the inks between times with my heat gun. I also dried the glue with my heat gun.To speed things along. Im enjoying these distress Oxides and IM learning more and more techniques. Im gonna try this one again with my Wrmk tool and less water. I see Jennifer McGuire do it so perfect haha she makes everything look so easy. Have fun creating!!
