Sunset Blending with Distress Oxide Inks

[@DionneNotDianne]

I recently rediscovered your channel. I don’t even make cards or craft really but I watch your videos before I go to bed. I’ve dealt with bad anxiety all my life, watching your videos helps me keep my mind busy but is also calming. 💕 x

[@krisfrankel6424]

Stunning! I never would have thought to put the stamp bottom on the lightest color. Just gorgeous!

[@Sylvia.Torres]

Beautiful blends! ❤ Thank you Kristina. 😊

[@hiltp1008]

i can’t stop looking at those cards so beautiful! sorta reminds of a negative of a photograph.

[@easttexaslady4618]

These cards are beautiful. These are my favorite colors.

[@NancyLynn]

Absolutely gorgeous cards, Kristina! I couldn't agree with you more regarding how to get better at ink blending...I sat down one day and practiced all day doing ink blending and by the end of it all, the improvement was remarkable. It also taught me that this is the best way for me to learn, which is by concentrating all my time on one specific technique before moving on to another. It is the repetition that makes it 'stick in your mind'. TFS Kristina!

[@judyhoff8238]

Love your ink blending combos!!! Each time I see one I try to imagine how I would use the colors.

[@barbaracilley8200]

I have the stamp and the Distressed Oxide Ink. Now I have to put them all together. TYFS You are excellent at blending the inks.

[@gailthecrafter]

Every time you publish a card I think this card is the most beautiful card I have ever seen. And then you do it again. I’m running out of adjectives.

[@kwernerdesign]

Haha! Thank you! :)

[@imamadeit]

They were all amazing, but that last color combo was stunning. I think so anyway.

[@Papergrace]

Gorgeous, Kristina!

[@craftysue519]

I just love silhouette stamped cards. This video is awesome for color combos for the backgrounds.. TFS !!!

[@cfluto]

Beautiful blends! I love the guitar music as well.

[@czdesign]

I absolutely love your live talking over the actual process. And these are gorgeous color combos. Will be trying!

[@jeanwestackroyd2966]

Wonderful combos Kristina, thankyou for sharing them.

[@normalara1417]

Those were GORGEOUS!

[@09mclemens]

I love your ink blending tutorials. It is amazing how the black wildflower silhouettes brings those sunset backgrounds to life. Gorgeous.

[@debbiepaxson2834]

I really like the color combo on the Thanks card...and you're right, nature is amazing!

[@barbinlakeland]

Great process for some great cards - thanks for sharing how to do this!

[@margaritagerman]

These cards are so simple and yet so beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to teach and demonstrate. The obvious of googling sky sunset pictures never occured to me. Thank you so much for all you do.

[@brrjohnson8131]

For real inspiration, study a sunset live, in person ...outside. I do this while trying to name the colors I'm witnessing. I usually wind up with a shopping list of colors I want to purchase...but inspired.

[@JennyColacicco]

Really love these Kristina and it’s nice and nostalgic to see you doing live talking :)

[@maryannewillequer3305]

All I can say is, WOW! Beautiful cards with beautiful backgrounds.

[@hankejoosen4029]

Absolutely gorgeous 🤩🤩🤩

[@leenewton5872]

Stunning. Each works as a sunset sky, and is lovely. Wow.

[@marciacarey2793]

Fabulous colours and cards.

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

Those gorgeous, rich backgrounds would look so beautiful with some of your pretty hand lettering in white!

[@lindaruschmeyer5298]

Beautiful cards. TFS

[@suzannerussell4892]

Your ink blending combo series turned me into an ink blending fool! It's my favorite technique for now. these silhouette stamps are absolutely gorgeous on the sunset backgrounds. Way to go, Kristina!

[@lisaspiers5723]

Loved the blended backgrounds:)

[@seattlesue178]

Those blends are so beautiful!

[@traveldreamer4616]

Beautiful work. You are a natural educator. Thanks for teaching the techniques of blending of background skies.They are seamless. Gorgeous work.

[@dianekayser7207]

Backgrounds are brilliant

[@venitabucceri8435]

Hi, Kristina. I have just discovered you and your ink-blending series. Your results are SO beautiful!!! The Speckled Egg and Sunset backgrounds are absolutely amazing!!! TFS and have a blessed Festive Season.

[@izzyjones7108]

Really cool and Def practicing blends has also helped me get better with them. Thanks!

[@coolstamper]

LOVE the silhouette cards!!! 💕

[@skmoreau100]

Great tutorial for blending! Love your choice of colors for the sunsets. Thanks for sharing!

[@barbd2490]

Beautiful cards!

[@caatandco7848]

Thank you for all those lovely colour combinations.. I am just having some issue with my Versafine not being a nicely black as I would like it to be. Stamp is new however.. as you said practise, practise, practise.. ♥

[@shannonlundgrenphillipssmi9645]

I can't believe how much I love that last background blend... when you finished blending it I thought to myself... hmmm ... not a color combo I would choose... but WOW!! it's so beautiful! thanks for all your videos, they are very inspirational

[@dlp454]

Thanks for expanding your Distress Ink Blending series. These are incredibly beautiful.

[@craftyana6503]

I'm loving the Chipped Sapphire, Peacock Feathers and Carved Pumpkin one! It looks like a sunrise!! Its beautiful!!!!

[@glendademorest5324]

I do like the teal blend. It looks awesome!

[@PrideP8]

Wonderful! You make it look so easy but you are a great teacher. Hope I can learn blending fast! Thank you.

[@andrealavigne7824]

The one with the Carved Pumpkin, Peacock Feathers, & Chipped Sapphire struck me as quite wintry. Even with the green, I love it! Love all of them, actually. Great cards--thanks for sharing, & have an awesome day! :)

[@izzyjones7108]

Yes that was what made me click . Really love that it isn't colors I would have normally thought would work, but it really does look so fabulous

[@maureenmartin1241]

Love the color combination .

[@deborahreeder7374]

Gorgeous! 😻

[@sheilas1283]

Those are stunning!

[@functionoflightone]

Really beautiful. Even colors that I didn't think would look good together came out really well. Thank you.

[@mpbailey18]

Great video as usual....love that you do most of this in real time...thank you. Interesting choices of sentiments...all I see with these beautiful sunsets is a "Sympathy" or "Thinking of you" sentiment. Just different perspective I guess!

[@DebadooCreates]

These are so gorgeous. I've been stepping since 2005 but I've never used to stress or distress oxide inks. So I finally got 1 set of the distress oxides, and can't wait to play with them

[@satomiemoki7074]

So elegant 💗

[@cecilecoonrod4146]

Watching this again since I’m working on my summer cards now. I noticed that the lighter colors seem to almost push back the darker ones diluant to how lighter copics push back darker. Interesting. You are still my absolute favorite card maker and I never miss a video.

[@theresesprinkle2103]

I love the background cards. Great job.

[@janetkildare1521]

All of them are beautiful but the Good Luck and Thanks are gorgeous!

[@jolac46]

Very nice cards.

[@iamdawt]

These are the most gorgeous cards I've ever seen! I've got my Oxides and paper at the ready to give it a go.

[@jeanwest-ackroyd3908]

Beautiful colours Kristina. I am going to have to try blending at last. Lovely cards also ! Thankyou for sharing so much.

[@kellyphillips8913]

So beautiful!! Looks so serene

[@lisaheld439]

these are absolutely beautiful!!!!! Your videos are simply the BEST to watch. You are my blending inspiration. I took your advice about practicing and you are correct. It's getting better. Thank you for sharing ALL your amazing work!

[@kwernerdesign]

Yay! So happy to hear that practicing is making things go a bit smoother. :)

[@deborahbuonomo]

GORGEOUS! TFS! 💜🧡💚

[@LeaRama]

I love watching you ink blend with the music. You should do a quick video of just that. :)

[@amyt6254]

Perfect video! Loved that you explained and then showed us more examples with music. So helpful. Beautiful cards!

[@melissaanderson1118]

Wow! These are gorgeous.

[@dotcull1682]

Beautiful beautiful cards now i no how to try and blend in the colours i have learnt from you a lot just by watching you thank you so much for sharing

[@Favorites2012mine]

Stunning! I might be weird, but watching you ink blend is mesmerizing. I love watching it all come together. On another note, the music in this video was lovely!

[@juliemorgen1776]

GORGEOUS!!!

[@donnamelville503]

These are beautiful. 😻 Can I suggest when using the MISTY or other stamping platform with background stamps to use Sticky grid by Tim Holtz & Sizzix I think. Keeps paper stuck without need for magnets, and makes it easy to line up and fit the larger stamps. Good for restamping if the ink is not as good as yours

[@denisestine2141]

Love these cards!! I wish KZbin had a love button!! And the one with the green is one of my favorites!

[@scrapper900]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@junebovenzi]

I love these combinations! Distress Oxides are the best.

[@lyndablankfeld5155]

Beautiful blending and beautiful cards. What happens if water gets on the cards. So far the only technique I know is splitting with water to watch the action with the distress oxide inks. And then using a sealer to stop anything else from happening. Thanks for the awesome list of items used. I will definitely use your links.

[@sharicarson2663]

So gorgeous

[@martharoberts2167]

Wow! Those cards are beyond beautiful! Can’t wait to try it! Thank you for sharing your creativity!

[@lisamoline7474]

Wow...gorgeous....

[@VickyEmerzidis]

All are gorgeous!@@

[@debrabartman6749]

Thank you for the demo/tutorial. Those are beautiful. I just bought the stamp and tried it with watercolor paper and watercolor paint. I tried stamping the design after I painted the background and then again, stamping the design on plain watercolor paper and painting the background afterward. Definitely helps to use the acrylic stamping tool. I stamped the design at least 4 times. The Versafine ink seemed to work best for me. I need to practice more with these. Hope to get mine looking more like yours.

[@genevanull4533]

Great blending. Love this stamp

[@cutiephinphinJL]

this is such a beautiful stampset! Love the colours and miss playing with distress.
