Happy Wednesday, all! It's been a week since I last posted so I'm excited to get back to sharing with you. :)
I'm continuing my exploration of Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks by trying out some watercoloring (see my first card made with Distress Oxide Inks here). It's no secret that I love the original Distress Inks for watercoloring, so how does this new formula of ink hold up?
These inks are equally as pleasant to paint with, especially when it comes to painting flat areas of color. The pigment and dye ink mix makes the watered down ink more opaque, which introduces some new opportunities for layering colors. I haven't shown it here yet, but you can stamp with Distress Oxide Inks on dark surfaces!
I used Waffle Flower's Across the Miles stamps and coordinating dies for this card. Be sure to check out the video for more of my thoughts on watercoloring with Distress Oxide inks. Also, all of the ink colors that I used are listed and linked at my blog (link above).

@andrealavigne7824 7 жыл бұрын

It's interesting that you mentioned the color looking like children's book illustrations. Watercoloring with the Oxide inks sounds similar to gouache, which is what children's book illustrators (at least those who do "traditional" painting) primarily use. Love the colors you used in your card, and the simple design! Happy belated birthday, too! :)

I used the ink from the oxide re-inkers and found that the ink really stuck to my brush bristles making it hard to clean them. Did you have this issue? I freaked out a little that I had ruined my brush! It came out eventually. I was also using just the ink, not watered down. Maybe that makes a difference. I'm still nervous about using my Silver brushes with these inks. I'm happy to see that you used them with yours though!

@thecraftdash 7 жыл бұрын

so these inks were made to sit on top of each other and to really layer well I see there may be blending issues. did you find that to be the case?

@deborahanne9793 7 жыл бұрын

From what I have seen on different videos, the oxides blend very easily and well using blending tools. Still waiting to purchase them to see for myself.

@DMHCre8 6 ай бұрын

If you heat emboss an image that was stamped with distress oxide, can you then watercolor over it without the water altering the stamped image?

@kwernerdesign 6 ай бұрын

No, the ink will always be reactivated with water. That's how the ink is formulated.

@fam.ligaard 7 жыл бұрын

I have heard some people having trouble with the micropore tape in the die-cutting-machines and the sticky oozing trough the tape and onto the cutting plate, which then leaves marks on the next project...

Your cards and techniques are always creative and I've learned so much! However, so far these Oxide inks do not seem impressive and leave me with "blah" feeling...which is just fine as I certainly don't need to buy any more ink!

I've watched a couple of videos from other card-makers using this stamp and die set.......very cute set. That being said, I wish Waffle Flower's die had cut between the "strings" on this balloon as I find the "white space" around the little bear distracting. Thank you so much for doing this video on water-coloring with oxides.....I'd been wondering if they would perform similarly to regular distress inks. Very cute card, and I love the added details you painted on the balloon.
