Dear Luise, What a fabulous technique you have shared here. I often wonder, with these new ideas, how creators come up the ideas. Thank you so much for sharing your video and thank you (danke, danke, danke shön) for taking the time to translate your voice over into English. We really appreciate you taking the time to do this ❤️ . Love Barbara 🇦🇺

Dear Luise, I've been watching a lot of videos about this technique, and tried it out on a batch of Canon glossy photo paper--it worked beautifully! When I ran out of that paper, I ordered more from Amazon, but was very disappointed with the quality of the prints on the new paper. The inks reacted completely differently from those on the first paper. I realized there is a definite difference in the quality of the photo papers--the heavier the photo paper, the better the results. The distress oxide inks on the heavy paper rub out to a gorgeous brilliance, but the inks on the cheaper paper turned out duller and rubbed off quite a bit more, looking a bit blah. I wanted to alert folks to be aware of the type of glossy photo paper they use, as it really makes a difference in the end result. I am getting rid of my cheaper photo paper and trying again with the better quality stuff!

Wow!!!! loved every single part of this project, those colours after adding water !!!!!! You are one VERY talented artist. Thank you SO much for sharing all your techniques, please never appologise for your English, which I think is brilliant. It’s us non German speaking folks who should apologise, so can’t thank u enough for taking all the time and effort to create your demos in English. ❤️❤️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

This is so awesome, never would have thought that using glossy photo paper would result in this beautiful art 👍😍

So happy I didn't throw out the packets of glossy photo paper I thought I would never use.

Hi - a local scrapbook store near me had some card samples using a similar technique that was GORGEOUS! She stamped a design onto glossy photo paper with Ranger Perfect Medium ink - I suspect embossing ink would also work. After that dried, she smooshed the glossy side into one color of oxide ink, then dried it. Repeated another color, then dry until happy with the look. THEN the magic was that she rubbed the entire surface with a baby wipe and voila! The image she stamped initially with the perfect medium (marketed for use with Perfect Pearls) appeared and the oxide colors became super bright. Soooo pretty! If you try it, I hope to see the video. I haven’t tried it myself.

This looks like marble! It's beautiful and I LOVE the end result. I admire ANYONE who can master English as a second language. You're doing GREAT! I've heard that English is the hardest language to learn because of all the "rules" (not sure if it's true, what's your opinion?)! The words that sound the same but are spelled different and have different meanings HAS to drive you crazy (for instance: two, to, too)!!! You're awesome! TFS

15:35 So now, with these further steps, it looks like stained glass! Wow!

This is ever soooooooo brilliant, I wonder what the effect would be on glossy photos? You know we all have them, ooooooooh want to play!!!!!!! ✴️✴️🧡✴️✴️✴️✴️

Amazing idea as always. I think your brain knows no limits. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

I'm loving this so much!! I have stacks of photo paper from a photo lab my father used to work at so I'm doing this today!! Thank you, Luise!! 😁💖

Luise, you are a mixed media genius! I can’t wait to try this!

Luise, I love your creations and watching your process. ❤

Another great discovery by the intrepid 'Art Researcher' Ms. Luise Heinzl!! Looks great!

i use liquid watercolors on my photo paper it dries instantly,i love your videos

I tried this technique with the distress watercolor pencils and it works !!! Thanks for sharing this technique.

Incredibly awesome. 😎 Thank you for sharing;you are so talented 🇨🇦

Absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic technique, thank you. I will be trying this. Thank you for the English version 🇳🇿😀

I did this some year ago with baby whips . You whipe away the oxide and the distress ink stays 😉. Love your tag!

OMG Luise! I have fallen in love with this technique! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!

Yes. I use my oxide on glossy paper. Rubbing off the oxide is so fun! You get something completely different! 💕

I came across this oxide/photo paper technique a few years ago in a Gel Plate video. It's a cool technique!

Terri is correct, you are a mixed media genius and if nothing else, you are masterful at sharing your ideas and experiments with us, giving us so many creative ways to play. Today, after watching your video on staining paper with Easter egg dye, I made some from 5 colors. Now, I say, ‘now that was fun, what’s next.” I will be trying this tomorrow, and eventually make my way back to your video playlist and find another, I haven’t seen yet. There are so many available, this means more hours of learning, creating, and having fun, trying out your techniques. I thank you everyday for creating such a wonderful library for us. I hope the “Thank you” box I’ve sent you arrives sooner than later 🌿🌺🌸🍀🌷🌱(big bouquet for you and your caravan.”)

I did this a year ago and it is fantastic. I used Epson photo paper and those bright colors just popped.This tag came out pretty :)

LUISE!!! I literally said “ WOW!!!!!” Out loud when you showed the effect with the wet paper towel!! Once again~ Amazing ❤😄

Just amazing. I'll have to watch this 2 more times to let it sink in. You're right that it looks like there is so much depth behind him. I just love this tag and can't get over how cool the colors came out in the end.

I love this! It reminds me of a stained glass window.

I appreciate you taking the time to show us this great project!

Oh my gosh! So so pretty. I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. (Crystal River, FL)

This is totally awesome, foubd you randomly dearching for junk journal ideas and am so glad I did.

wow! right before my eyes the colors changed. I wasn't expecting that. This will be fun to try. thank you

This was so interesting to watch! Turned out so cool

I just tried this with the Canon glossy photo paper that has been in my stash for years. It worked beautifully! Thank you so much for sharing this technique!

Fascinating technique. Reminds me of sunlight coming through a cathedral window.

Totally awesome Luise. Thanks so much for the inspiration, Hugs and Smiles

I started to watch your channel when you did a challenge with The Paper Outpost. I am just in love with your work. I am watching all of your videos from oldest to newest. I am in awe of your talent. I must say I am also totally jealous that you have your workspace (and living space at least part time?) in such a lovely location. The lake and mountains are just gorgeous! Love this tag! Oh my gosh, I could not hope to create any work such as yours. And your English is very good. I have no German at all so appreciate your English. Thank you!

AWESOME...I watched every moment...one of the best videos I've seen for ages....yiu have given me so many ideas...I like you very much and your approach to art.... I have subscribed to your channel 🎉.... Kind regards Jane Rochfort North Wales UK.....x

I can't wait to see this! I have an 8.5x11" photo paper with inks and I believe oxides that I mucked around with, and boy, I thought it was dry, then a few days later I noticed it looked a bit, wet, so to speak, so I went to lightly touch that area with my finger, and yup, it had un-dried itself 😬

A m A Z E I n G OMG

Luise, I found this video very interesting, and the tag turned out wonderful!

I definitely will try this technique. I have photo paper somewhere. Hope it will work. I love your gorgeous tag. Colors are beautiful . The butterfly wings were perfect for that gentlemen. Thanks for sharing.

BAM!! Of course. And thank you….

Where did my photo paper go?! Fabulous! Hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️🇨🇦

Luise, thank you for a fabulous video - I will dig out my photo paper to try it. And your English was perfect - no worries!

Absolutely GORGEOUS ❤❤❤

Brilliant experiment… the tag is beautiful

😮 Love love love what you did. I love this type of art but did not know where to begin. ❤ Im looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

Amazing results, Luise! I love this tag so much❤️

The tag turned out beautiful. I can see a scene behind him. The bottom black area reminds me of mountains in the distance. The beautiful colors of the tag reminds me of a sunset. And up in the top corner the same side of the tag that the man is on is a round shape that looks like the sun. thank you for sharing this video. I am going to give this a try.

😍 It reminds me of windows with old fittings with the lights that make summer sunsets.

OMGOSH Luise! You’re a genius at everything you touch and create! Wow, wow, wow, this girl has gotta get working with mixed media. The more I watch you, the more I’m realizing that this is my jam and my heart wants to create images like yours. Other media’s are amazing too, but this just speaks to me, resonates within me so deeply. Thank you Sweet Soul for opening up such an incredible world to me! Big love 💝

I live in the Finger lakes in New York State and I love getting my inspiration from old books, quilting magazines and lighthouse books and calendars.

So many great ideas and information on so many layers. 😘

Great use if the technic. Its an oldy. Did a workshop with this on a Dutch fair years ago

Love! Love! Love! Thank you for more ideas!

Yes! He’s home

WOW! Great result! TFS it is appreciated!

My goodness Luise love it so much!!!!

Wow - Luise - fascinating process! love it. thank you. ;)

I'm so glad I found your channel today. I subscribed and have made sure to tap the notification bell.

It works on matte/satin photo paper too. It needs to be a premium high weight photo paper. I've also used food coloring and Distress Ink.

I've just ordered a bunch of oxide inks I can't wait to try this out!

Thank you for another excellent video with an amazing art project, excellent directions, and superb editing. You are wonderful!

Ohh my ❤ this is a wonderful technique 👏🏻 I’ll have to try this out

You are such a talented lady! Loved how your tag turned out!

incredible! thank you for teaching us👏🥂🎉

Absolutely Beautiful!!❤

Dear Louise I stayed up until 2:00 am looking at and listening to your exciting tutorials. I learned so much from you. I completed 5 treasure books that I had been working on and I was so pleased with the results. I know I have OCD and I have to pace myself so that I do not stress myself while doing something that I love. Thank you again for your wonderful work. A great fan😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Wow, looking forward to trying this.

This was so good I have so much glossy paper to try this on thank you

You are a true artist! ❤️

SO CREATIVE!

oh wow those dusty muted colors turned into a beautiful sunset background on the tag!! Amazing! I will have to test out the glossy photo paper I have laying around and my few distress oxides.

Wow, that’s stunning!

Luise, how fabulous is this? I so enjoyed watching this new technique you've shared and the way it all came together. With every new addition and detail, I was just in awe. Thank you so much for everything, and as Barbara from Paper and Cakes said below, I so appreciate you taking the time to translate into English. Thank you, thank you.

I love watching you. You are so creative 😍

Outstanding!

Your tag is amazing! It reminds me of the technique Tim Holtz showed using the Oxides on top of Ranger’s glossy alcohol ink cardstock and then applying a thin layer of microglaze on top. The results are very similar and I wonder if substituting water for the microglaze would work. As you clearly demonstrated, it does on certain types of photo paper… I have some of Ranger’s glossy paper, as well as other photo papers, so I’m going to experiment and see what works and what doesn’t. Obviously, it depends on if the surface is porous or not, but I’m not sure how you tell that other than trying each one out. The translucent texture paste and the contrast of the bright colors with the black really make this tag…Wow! Thank you so much for inspiring me to play, and for reminding me of a really cool technique. Hugs from Ky.

This is a brilliant technique, Luise! I am so glad you shared this with us because I was just going to donate two packs of photo paper to the thrift store! I had watched another KZfaqr do the technique but she didn't show how to use the paper afterward. Thank you for sharing your beautiful project! Cheers from Denver CO!

Great video. Bought at thrift store a small package of glossy photo paper and had no idea what to with them… now I know !! I will certainly use your hashtag and let you see my results. Thanks for experimenting ! Hugs

Luise,, you Are one of Those artist! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰 Gorgeous tag, very creative technique!

I do believe you are some kind of magician!

Really cool! Definitely gonna give this shot

Im just loving these layered effects on this methode .

Wow! Thank you! Love it!❤

Love this!

It is gorgeous. It's a great way to do something different from distressed work. This reminds me of psychedelic fabrics I used to sew my clothing in the late 60s.
