I just got my distress oxide inks a couple of days ago and have been experimenting. The BG for the stamped flowers was the oxide inks applied to kraft, using the blending tool. I have to say the inks blend like a dream--if you get a bit of a circle with the foam, you just keep rubbing and it disappears. I stamped the flowers with dark chocolate, added the sentiment, shadowing it so it showed up better and placed the piece on a pretty in pink card base. I'm really pleased with the card and look forward to more experimenting!

Very pretty background. I've been wondering about the oxide inks. So glad you shared how the they work - nice to hear you can cover circles with blending - not so with regular distress inks. I would never have guessed this was kraft - great coverage.

Never would have guessed that kraft was under those oxides. Such pretty colors, Sue!!
