Distress Oxide Emboss Resist Layering Technique

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

Wow This is an awesome technique Kristina , flipping the paper with the plastic was a game changer !

[@SpadeSolitaire]

with those pastel colourful background, the sequins actually looks like water droplets! I think this has become one of my fav videos you've ever done 🙌🙌

[@speuteryourdog]

The background looks like really cool designer paper! Love it!

[@annesmith1718]

Wow, what a wonderful coloring idea, the colors are just marvelous. Thanks so very much.

[@NancyLynn]

Gorgeous card Kristina and I love the idea of using a sandwich bag. Thanks for the inspiration and education!

[@lindacompton8346]

I love he use of the plastic bag. It allows you to see where the different color inks are going. Great tip for the layered sentiment. It is common sense, but I never thought of doing it. Silly me. LOL

[@lomiolatu5008]

I just have to say how much i have enjoyed watching your videos. I forgot to leave my comment on you last card. You used the distressed oxide reinkers and the big flower stamp. I really do get some good ideas watching your techniques. Thank you

[@yoonsunhur7343]

Love that you used unexpensive plastic bag! Great technique! LOVE your card making videos!!!

[@DesignsAfterDark35]

I leave your videos on her voice is so soothing

[@eileenschuller5309]

love the sandwich bag idea - how inexpensive, clever and workable! Thank you.

[@deskjockie4948]

Great technique, and I love the water droplets, they add so much dimension to the card. the sequins mirror that dimension. TFS!

[@tamihall6081]

this is really neat...love your ideas...thank you for continuing to spread inspiration and the love of this industry...appreciate you

[@ardyth]

So pretty! I made my first panel with DOs last night, but didn't think to emboss. Love the bag idea, too!

[@pkmarchand8068]

Love the card and love the places your very creative mind must go to come up with these wonderful ideas. Thanks so much.

[@lindaruschmeyer5298]

Beautiful card. Love the way the background turned out. TFS

[@christigulledge7061]

So pretty. At first I thought it was paper inlaid because of the stripes. You are a paper crafting genius 😉👏🏼

[@kiwipommiegirl]

This is such a lovely card Kristina! Tfs.x

[@teresab1433]

love love love the delicate pastel feel of this card. I finally ordered my first 4 Distress Oxide ink pads today after watching a Creativation 2018 Tim Holtz demo! so will definitely have a try of this technique with the clear cello bag when my pads arrive. keep the technique videos coming for oxides I need all the help I can get lol . oh and Happy Birthday, sending hugs from NW England UK xx

[@elaineweberg5810]

Liked watching you do this technique and looks like something I just might try. Good job Kristina...pretty card!

[@AlisonHeikkila]

What a fantastic technique! I'll definitely be trying this with my Distress Oxides soon. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@elivens1440]

Beautiful background, thanks for sharing. Your card is gorgeous.

[@missdaisy151]

Thanks so much for this video I have been searching for a simply different idea for a wedding invitation ,and watching you today I can honestly say I have found it , again thank you xxxxx

[@angelinafernandez8425]

Keri this card is lovely. unloved the colors of the oxide inks. I love them. I have to get the Mr&Mrs. tfs

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Love this card. I too am enjoying the oxide inks. cant wait to try this technique. Thanks for sharing.

[@tammy5590]

Very pretty and I love the resist you did. Will have to try this out.

[@avrawilliams8675]

This is so cool, Kristina! I just started playing with my Distress Oxides but haven't created anything this soft and pretty yet!

[@glenislyon22]

Another great video Kristina. I am waiting for my Oxide Inks to arrive.

[@lauraesperanza7228]

Thank you so much, Kristina. Your videos always inspire me.

[@marylehett1127]

Thank you Kristina for such a creative tutorial! I have that stamp set but haven't used it yet!

[@christinesmith989]

Gorgeous card! Love the inking technique. Thank you. xxx

[@andrealavigne7824]

Love the background you created, Kristina! A variation--if you don't mind waiting for a while--would be to leave the plastic in place on the watercolor paper until the ink dries. That gives something of a neat marbled effect. Obviously, though, you couldn't heat set it to dry. Great choice of colors--tfs! :)

[@heartfeltgreetingco]

Love this technique and the background looks beautiful :) TFS!

[@patriciaposk9511]

soft and beautiful colors...thank you Kristina pat

[@Papergrace]

Beautiful background for the "Mr. & Mrs." die-cut, Kristina. ♥

[@donnadacy5876]

great little card and an interesting technique. TFS

[@WhereWhoMe]

Love the colors you used in this! I'm going to give this a try with regular distress inks, and maybe skip or use something different for the stripes, since I don't have any big stripes.

[@theramblincrafter]

Awesome! I'm waiting for my oxides to be delivered! Can't wait!

[@ProteaAurea]

I discovered that using old piece of cotton clothing like worn out pajamas instead of paper towels is much better. They soak up much better, they don't shed or tear, they can be washed, and if they get too dirty I just toss them in the garbage since that's where they were going anyway. And paper towels are horrible for the environment.

[@macCALICOmac]

ProteaAurea what a great tip!

[@a7xmaNga]

my mom actually saves up old bedsheets to cut up for using them for dusting so I cut a piece out of them as big as I want when I need and it works out just well too and I use it how I would use a piece of paper towel when I paint with watercolors

[@vickidip]

And when the rag is full of paint it can be used to cover a book or journal

[@teapotlizard]

THIS PASTEL GOODNESS IS SO SATISFYING

[@smarterthenyouknow]

i have those same 3 colors. love the effect...nice card.

[@JessCrafts]

Gorgeous! Thanks for another great technique!

[@princesspentacle]

the sequins looks like water droplets, it looks super cool!

[@DianaTrout]

Oh this is just beautiful, Kristina! It's sort of mysterious. I did like that muddy green in the small dose. You know, I think that Smooshing technique was mine from YEARS ago. One of my students named it and it stuck. Or maybe not. But it looks about right. See what happens when you've been around too long. LOL!

[@msdixie1972]

Oh this is so beautiful!

[@Dotalina33]

Loved this technique with the oxide inks. The plastic sandwich bag is perfect! I wonder how it would look if somehow the inks dried before removing the bag? Creativity never ends does it? Beautiful card!

[@norinemueller4588]

Great card as always

[@karlajaimes7084]

This is so beautiful! I really wish I could give you 19 extra thumbs up ;) love your work ❤️

[@czdesign]

Such a pretty card. Love.

[@mpbailey18]

Still on the fence about these new inks...need to see them in person as they look so chalky and flat on the monitor. Your videos, however are always first class!

[@susandzama3000]

Marilyn Bailey so was I so did buy just two to play with and experiment. blend so easily and no line between colors like I get in ŕegular distress . like the alot and don't look chalky unless you wet them. will get some more as I have money

[@raeraesma]

It's lovely, Kristina! Take care, Kim :)

[@hemjoo]

Artsy looking. Nice!

[@DonnaJo3452]

Gorgeous card!

[@janets132003]

what a great and different wedding card!

[@shonaaustin5373]

Great Idea for a card. I prefer brighter colors. You gave me some ideas here and Thanks.

[@DettolObsessed]

I bought the Neenah cardstock after noticing so many people use it in crafting but my projects come out sooooo flimsy and out of shape when I use it. Then I realized what I ordered was the 90lb and not 110!! It makes a huge difference really. I was wondering how come the cards Kristina and Jennifer make stay firm compared to my limpy ones :P

[@53islandgirl]

I had the same problem 😑

[@DettolObsessed]

:| lol xD

[@DettolObsessed]

Sadly the 90lb came in a big thick pack (like an A4 printer paper pack). I was excited I thought the 110lb will be the same. It came in a very small pack.... :( But the quality is great.

[@jaderawkins1946]

4 may is my wedding anniversary and you made a beautiful wedding card. I think it's fate :)

[@wilmazengotita8997]

Hi, I always enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot thanks to them. You are very talented! Just one question, does that Stripe Builder stamp from Concord and 9th was a limited edition? I can’t find it.

[@baboo7192]

Very pretty card!

[@marycentex7695]

I like that technique. thanks for sharing...

[@Shafirapiir]

Can you make a video explaining all the stuff that u use ? Like everything cause i wanna know what to buy

[@ashleysokal]

Did you remove the embossing powder before adding the water droplets? Out looks like they are over the striped areas that we covered in EP. Beautiful card!

[@debiv7834]

Very pretty!!

[@teresadoyle1396]

Just beautiful!

[@msdixie1972]

Kristina, was this done with an electronic die cutter? If so, which do you use when you do electronic cutting? Or do you just use the big shot?

[@kimbolee6819]

Gorgeous!!!

[@deegewilliams2567]

I love watching your videos, you have such a gentle voice and creative mind. I was wondering, do you ever sell any card concepts to big card companies like Hallmark? Or do you just sell the individual ones you make?

[@carlaschechner721]

Cool stripe effect.

[@caroljones1973]

Kristina, your card is beautiful. I hope I don't see the Distress Oxide Inks as a flash-in-the-pan, because I am going to buy a bunch tomorrow at 25% off! Thanks for the plastic bag technique and your information about the adhesive you use with watercolor paper, etc. Say hi to the kitties.

[@DonnaJo3452]

Carol Jones I think they are here to stay--just like the Distress Inks :-).

[@alexfurey7642]

Beautiful card, as usual. I'm just wondering how you avoid / correct Little imperfections on the die cuts? Any time I use my word dies I can always see little bumps from where the holes in the dies were. I've tried flattening them out with a bone folder but they never look pristine.

[@kwernerdesign]

I get those, too, but I don't worry about them too much. Not sure what to do about them so I just live with them. :)

[@sueb-t2183]

I heard you can send them back through your big shot to flatten them

[@martharoberts2167]

Gorgeous!

[@genevievebupp1723]

Where can I get that fine metal applicator tip for the Ranger Multi Medium Matte?

[@GailWhimsy]

Love,love,love,loveTHIS.

[@stamps4fungin]

Kristina, will this be similar finish as using regular distress inks? I just can't afford to buy all new ink pads, although these oxides seems really great.

[@kwernerdesign]

No, Oxide inks have their own look. They behave somewhat like Distress inks, but these are creamy and you can stamp with them on dark surfaces. Tim Holtz has a video here on KZbin where he shows the differences.

[@debhall2608]

Very pretty!

[@lindacaldwell5303]

Can you use this idea on regular cardstock

[@terrie1226]

Great technique and easy....tfs

[@maggiebaxter610]

Hi Kristina ~ I absolutely LOVE this Mr. & Mrs. die font. My son just got married and we were doing lots of crafting and die cutting and this font would have been perfect. I may have to just get it and save it for the next one!! Thanks so much for sharing the new technique with the Oxide inks. Have an awesome weekend! ~HUGS~ #kindnessmatters

[@kimberlynuzback9211]

I have tried to use embossing powder overtop of dried watercolor before and found that my embossing powder clings to the whole paper rather then just the versa ink, basically ruining my project. Do you thinks it’s my paper or embossing powder that caused this?

[@kwernerdesign]

Your watercolor probably isn't completely dry. You might let it dry some more and also use an anti-static powder tool. That's where I'd start.

[@divyagupta5926]

what is the machine you are using for the emboss print on the sheet?

[@j9cardstock354]

This card is SO gorgeous!

[@katyglenn9271]

Beautiful.

[@patriciamora5689]

Where did you get tip on glue bottle

[@charleneluedtke5751]

Lovely!!!

[@susiemcpherson3996]

Beautiful thank -you

[@sueb-t2183]

very pretty

[@deborahanne9793]

Do the oxide inks feel chalky after they dry on the paper? Is there an odour from the ink pad? TY

[@gillianc.5589]

Deborah Anne yeah I wonder if it feels chalky too because it looks like it

[@LilCraftyNook]

Deborah Anne I have found that is a little.

[@deborahanne9793]

Nikki, do you mean that there is a little odour or they feel a little chalky? TY

[@kwernerdesign]

They only look chalky if you add water to them. I don't think they're really chalky, though. I get a soft vibe more.

[@LilCraftyNook]

Deborah Anne I didn't notice an odor. They look chalky and they do feel kind of in between smooth and chalky.

[@gingerbunny.]

what is that glue or something?

[@michelleregis6181]

Very pretty however I can hardly make out the greeting, it's a little too pale, a slightly darker shade would give more contrast thanx

[@stamps4fungin]

could you have die cut the Mr & Mrs with foam?

[@anmolsidhu9193]

Can u tell me another way to gt da same result but using smthing except distress oxide inks

[@DonnaJo3452]

fabgrl 99 I don't think you can get the same result with anything else because this is a brand new type of ink, the fusion of water reactive dye ink and pigment ink.

[@anmolsidhu9193]

Donna Jo thanks alot

[@stellabyrd6014]

Love this thanks

[@jeannebeam3042]

Great video..

[@lenocciolinedibimba307]

E' veramente molto bello!! ^_^

[@stellaamcc]

The only problem with this technique is when doing the "smooshing" with the ink and water, it really warps the paper in the drying process.

[@kwernerdesign]

My paper wasn't too warped. If you're worried about that, you could tape the paper down and carefully flip the sandwich bag over. I've done that in the past, too.

[@evanyo1986]

Could you make a video that compare distress ink & oxide? Your voice is so soothing and I love your videos!!

[@AlysonWhite]

Evan Xin Er Hong Jennifer McGuire has done this already if you watch her stuff. Basically the oxide has pigment innit so you can stamp on black and other dark coloured papers whereas regular distressed doesn't show up as they are dye based. Plus oxide colours 'pop' as you saw when they are exposed to water. That's pretty much it. I'm glad I didn't invest in distressed as oxide as more options. Looking forward to more colours coming out like distressed!

[@DonnaJo3452]

Constellation27 You have to dry the paper with a heat tool on the front and back and that will flatten the card stock almost flat. When you adhere the card to the card base, just be sure to use plenty of adhesive.

[@heyitsjasminnee]

i love this video

[@aavi.]

i think that's the first time you did not cut the ends of the smallest sentiment into the shape of a banner

[@cheryls.5685]

Where do u get the brown craft sheet that covers your work surface ?

[@aavi.]

cheryl S. it would be linked in the description

[@kwernerdesign]

I was using a Ranger Craft Sheet. There is a link in the video description.

[@cheryls.5685]

Thank u :)

[@swearwolf.werewolf8049]

hi, do you (or anyone reading this) know of any stamp companies that do Mr&Mr or Mrs&Mrs stamps, some of my good friends are getting married soon and it would be awesome if I could make them a card.

[@debhall1495]

Pretty :)

[@dua_junaid]

How? xD
