Hi there!

Here we with a new topic

and a new product.

Have you tried these yet?

Yes?  Then you'll know

how scrummy they are.

No?  You must - they are

so good to play with and

the results are .............

well, just take a look at

what Angel Radford has

brought to us today:

" Angela here to show you how much fun

 I have been having with these new inks. 

I wanted to see how well they worked on 

different types of card and I have to say 

they glide beautifully both with a blending tool

 and straight to paper and they show up 

so well on black card too. 

So I started by trying the same technique 

with the new Oxides (left) and the 

old distress inks (right). 

I did not want to cover the card completely 

for this project but I think you can see that

 the ink on the left looks richer and they cover 

the card quicker and are easier to apply.

Once I had a suitable background 

I went on to the images. 

I applied the ink to the stamp, spritzed it lightly 

with water and then stamped with it.

The image then takes on a gorgeous chalky 

appearance while maintaining a sharp background.

I repeated this on the black card next. 

You can see where the water was on 

the stamp giving the chalky finish and 

the other areas remain sharp. 

The image shows up so well which it 

wouldn't have done with the old Distress Inks.

 I then decided that an insert would look good 

and give me chance to see what the Oxides 

would look like just on plain white paper. 

I think it's gorgeous but what do you think? 

I love this stamp too, it's so pretty

and a close-up.

Of course all this must then be put together 

and this is how I completed the card. 

The sentiment is embossed using the oxides 

and embossing powder and completed 

with little pink gems. 

I mounted the design onto brown and 

pink card and then a black card blank. 

I can't wait to have another play but 

I am sure my teamies will be showing 

you lots more interesting examples 

of what you can do. 

Happy crafting, Angela xXx"
