Best video I’ve seen on the various ways to use the oxide sprays

Thanks so much for all of these great ideas!

Love!! Thank you for teaching me!!

Wow that embossing powder technique is GENIUS!

Hi Keren! Thank you so much for all these beautiful techniques. I love how they all turned out. 🥰

Dear Karen, Your video of using the Distress Oxide pads with the large elephant rubber stamp pad is still one of my fasvorite art tutorisld. It wouyld be fun to see you use the elephant stamp with the dioxide sprays. I've never tried these materials, but I definitely want to experiment with them. Thank you for your clear instructions on how to use these supplies. Have a wonderful week1 bEST WISHES, Dianna (Southern Maryland, US)

Very enjoyable video seeing all the techniques which will bloom into such lovely card making ideas!!

Hi Karen! Thank you for taking us on your journey with the oxide sprays. Since you had a hard time sprinkling water- the Distress water spray from Ranger sprays and drips, depending on the force you use. I was Not convinced, I mean it is just a waterbottle. I was wrong, it is the best tool when working with sprays. Greetings from Vienna! PS. Haha. I hate wasting colour, too! I have lots of of rainbow coloured paper scraps, dreamy backgrounds, which we use for our weekly shopping list. Defenitely the coolest shopping lists in town. Yes to smushing out all the leftover colour!

Just gorgeous! Love all these techniques, and also what you did with them on the next video! New subscriber.

These are all great techniques for quick backgrounds. Thank you for sharing them with is.

Great techniques and explanations!

This was very informative. 'love all the techniques. thanks.

Great ideas! I was debating if I wanted the sprays and I am now sold on them!

Thx for all the great techniques! I just bought some Distress sprays, and can't wait to play with them

I enjoyed watching you do all of these different ways of using the sprays and colors:-)

Thank you for this video - lots of great ideas! One thing I noticed was you inked the stamp by stamping it on the pad. I’ve watched a few Tim Holtz videos where he suggests the opposite: lay the stamp down with the stamping side up and stamp the ink on lightly. Allows better control of the inking.

Thank you for the video lovely lady. 🙂 Those are beautiful and great techniques, not all I'd seen before. I have the gold and silver. I was spraying the silver outside in a breezy area, it spurted all over my paper, art bag, hand, and fingernails.😆 I haven't tried to wash it do don't don't know if it is permanent but it hasn't rubbed off my bag in the 3 weeks since it was sprayed on it. I kind of like the black and silver look.and might spray a few more shirts on my art bag.😁

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the video!!

Great tips Keren!! I really loved the embossing folder idea!! You made some gorgeous tags! xxx

I really love the resist technique, which gave a cool splatter result, and the example with the butterfly stamps. With the stencils, which I love to play with, I don't like when it comes out blotchy or the inks pool into each other. Maybe using another medium like ink pads or embossing mousse is what I need to do and I can use the Distress Inks in another way. Can't wait to get all my supplies in and start making some art.

I don't know if you have experimented with this or not but I noticed you always depress the spray part of the bottle with your thumb. You get a very different distribution of color when pressure is applied with the index finger rather than the thumb. The thumb tends to give a much heavier layer or ink where the index finger is normally a much lighter application. Something to consider, depending on what you are doing.

TGD. Learned alot from this video. Happy crafting. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the journal.

thank you!

missing your videos

Love

Looks like fun, thanks for sharing with us. Can I get info on the white Matt paper you used in this video?

Have you a link to your finished project using these backgrounds please

Thank you! Karen! The oxide effect rubs off onto my hands…if I don’t want to keep the powder look anyway, can I just rub off the powder with something? Also suppose that I am sorry to have the oxides, do you think I can just pour off the top paint part (if the oxide has settled to the bottom, and have something more like the distress spray? I might try that. This video is 4 years old now and I hardly see ANYONE using the oxide sprays now… wonder if they are as baffled by them as I am or if they really just don’t need them because the oxide pads do everything needed for that medium? Any thoughts?

Is there a difference between heat setting and just air drying? Is the heat stopping further blending of the colors or just speeding up the process?

What tim holtz stamp did you use the first time? Thank you

What do you do with all these tags?

Can you use the sprays also as an ink pad refill?
