Layering up colours like magic!

[@vickirivera1052]

Also I don't remember if I ever mentioned it here, but I used to work in a thrift store. They get tons of photo paper in, at thrift stores. Thus, a very cheap way to supply our needs.😅

[@debbietramundanas6518]

Yes! I was going to suggest thrift stores! I have a large stash of photo papers that I got super cheap from thrift stores!

[@pinkmosquito22]

Oh my gosh!!! I think the stencil technique with the oxides is my favorite!!!!! 🤩

[@Cuttlebuglover]

Wow 🤩 … some of the gorgeous two coloured with stencils remind me of batik fabric! ❤

[@SashaReade]

Oh yes!!!! That's totally what they looked like

[@barbibarnum]

Holy smokes. I see photo paper in the thrift stores all the time and never knew what to do with it!!! I’m so excited to find these ideas.

[@conniechandler6309]

If you didn't know, Tim Holtz has a Distress Micro Glaze which seals in the oxide layer, and also allows you to add more color over it.

[@janasher4940]

I think I've seen a DIY recipe for this also on YT. Apparently it's cheap and easy to make.

[@jillowens-davis8082]

OMG girl! You have literally blown me away! I've always used photo paper for my alcohol inks, but never THIS ! You know you have created a monster here! I have the paper, I have the oxides...I may never come out of the craft room again! Thank you for sharing your creativity and passion with us! I liked and subscribed cuz I gotta stick with you now!

[@andrealavigne7824]

Wow, Sasha, these are AWESOME!!! And thank you for sharing that you can "clean" Distress Oxides on photo paper with just water & a cloth. I've seen it done with a baby wipe, but I hate to keep throwing baby wipes into the landfill (ultimately) and, since I rarely use them for anything else, they end up drying out in the package, so I have to throw those out without even having used them. And don't even get me started on the plastic packaging they come in. :P Anyway, you have just saved me loads of woe, so again - thank you! :) I am STILL making holiday cards, so I don't have time just to "play" right now - not that making cards is dull work and not fun. There is a light at the end of the tunnel with that project, though, as I'm almost done! :) But I'll definitely keep this technique in mind for future crafting. Anyway, thank you once again for sharing this. Love all your backgrounds. I hope things settle down for you all soon. Take care, & have a wonderful day! :)

[@kkrolf2782]

As much as this technique is a delight to behold, it’s ever more a treat to view YOU demonstrating it! The joy in your soul comes through the airwaves and is contagious!! Thank you for sharing both with me! 🙏 ‼️
