Distress Oxide Butterfly Card

In this video I play with some of my new Distress Oxide ink pads to create a colorful panel. Then I create a "Thank You" card using die cut butterflies to enhance the painted panel piece. Enjoy!

Hi Cynthia!! Your distress oxide panel turned out beautiful!! And so did the card!! Thank you for this wonderful KZbin!!! Great tutorial!! 🦋

I love these distress oxides! Your panel and card turned out fabulous!

[@inthecraftroom9724]

Thank you, Cynthia!

[@KonaSitkaRose]

Boy, that sure did turn out beautifully! When I saw your butterflies on the side margin, I had to click on your video to see how you did the colors!!! Lovely ♥

[@inthecraftroom9724]

Thank you so much! I just ordered some of the new Distress Oxide colors - I can't wait to play with them :-)

[@ericasvahnberg3108]

Usually you see multiple colors being swiped at once. I like that you used one at a time to give it more control. It never occurred to me to do that, considering seeing multiples being done all the time. Thank you so much!

[@kennyfry3421]

Cynthia, THANK YOU!!! I've watched several other tutorials using Distress Oxide inks, but thanks to your video, I finally "got it"!!! GREAT tutorial!!! :o)

[@inthecraftroom9724]

Thank you, Florence! Using die cuts with these papers is a lot of fun - I really love doing this with flower and leaf dies in particular :-) Have fun playing!

[@stephaniedrury6557]

Wow, love it. Subscribed to your channel. Hi from the uk.

[@inthecraftroom9724]

Hello, Stephanie - welcome aboard!

[@janicem8956]

Hi. I'm not a fan of watercolor backgrounds, but I LOVE how you create them and then use them for die cuts. Absolutely gorgeous, so I'm going to give it a try!

[@inthecraftroom9724]

That's great to hear, Janice. You just might end up loving it! It's a wonderful technique for painting and then die-cutting leaves and foliage, too.

[@tjpapercreations]

Another beautiful card! tfs

[@deborahbuonomo296]

I love the finished card❣ TFS!

[@inthecraftroom9724]

Thank you, Deborah!

[@donnierichard3523]

Love the card! What paper did you use?

[@chrisbutler9158]

Great demo, thank you. I have made a few of these panels, some I'm using as bookmarks, others for the front of journals. The distress oxides are so versatile aren't they?

[@bevacole]

Beautiful card! Very creative.... (3/14/2017)

[@inthecraftroom9724]

Thank you!

[@sforsonia]

Beautiful card ...can u tell me the name of the butterfly die

[@deborahanne9793]

Beautiful, does the card feel chalky after it dries? Thank you

[@inthecraftroom9724]

Hi Deborah - yes, it has a chalky feel to it, but it won't transfer to your fingertips like real chalk does :-)

[@MareeForman]

Sorry that should have read subscribed.!!!

[@patriciamora2915]

What kind of paper is it, I didn’t here.

[@inthecraftroom9724]

I used Strathmore watercolor paper for the inking - watercolor paper withstands all of the water better than regular card stock. The card itself was made on a base of my favorite white card stock Neenah Solar White 90-lb.
