Super Cool Distress Oxide Ink Technique!!!! | Mixed Media Art Journal With Me

[@Bunefoo401]

The finished product looks AMAZING. I think your paper towel “stamp” was the coolest part. Wonderful layout ❤️❤️❤️

[@wendyv.227]

Hello Amber, just wanted to thank you for all the beautiful videos that you are sharing! I love the music and the wonderful process of your videos! I have lots of product that sat on my craft room shelves for years...and now because of your videos I have been using it, with a whole new fondness. Thank you so much! God bless!

[@annettelunnon9040]

I love this! I think sometimes our accidents turn out to be great finds! Thanks for sharing.

[@Phyllis-nk5ji]

I never have good success with the oxides. Thanks for showing me this technique for creating a wonderful background. I have all the supplies on hand to accomplish this, so I'll be playing this vlog later, on this cool, overcast and rainy day. A perfect day to play.

[@greendancingshoes]

I loved the first music choice also. Music is subjective, so I find calming, quiet music adds to the video rather than detracting from it. Altogether this to me is a great video. Thank you. 😊

[@ursulaumbrico2930]

I absolutely love your videos.. I find such inspiration from watching you. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us. ☺️

[@AmberKCreative]

I'm so glad!!! 😊❣😊❣ Thank you for watching!

[@suestoons]

OK, so yes, I am procrastinating doing chores with the excuse that I'm doing "research" for our weekly Skype Craft coming up in two days. In reality, I'm doing a deep dive through your channel and having an absolute blast. I'm clicking on any vid with "Distress Oxide" in the title and a thumbnail pic that I like. Making comments to prolong the procrastination until at least lunchtime. And, ya know, to let you know that Hey! We're out here watching your stuff!

[@Wjgustaf]

Literally leaving your finger prints on your work. Very cool.

[@Cynphoenix56]

Thank you for sharing that a lot of this is trial and error. You are indeed brave to share what you do...and to create the beautiful pieces you make. Often I watch you for inspiration...and then go and do my own thing. Inspiration is courage....You are the best, you are authentic....Love you work!

[@susiemartin8172]

Really love this one- the color scheme, the layers and the sentiment.

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you, Susie!

[@timeenuf4200]

Never thought to use Gesso under distressed ink. Lovely work. Thank you for sharing your time, talent and inspiration. If it wasn't 11:00 PM I'd give it a try. On my list for the morning though.

[@heathertucker7056]

who knew how paper towels could look so good! brilliant tip! thank you!

[@AmberKCreative]

Thanks for watching, Heather!

[@chrisharman4399]

Your videos are a treasure, Bella. I enjoy watching your creations come to life and always end up wanting to run to my craft area to create something of my own. Thank you for sharing a bit of yourself with us.

[@AmberKCreative]

You're so sweet, Chris!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@FloridianGail]

Oh my goodness I can't wait to go try this, I love it, thank you for sharing!!

[@CathsGardenPlants]

Another amazing video. I liked the idea of using a restricted palette & nature's colours. Great work Bella.

[@anniethompson9207]

Love the paper towel technique..giving it a different texture..♥️♥️👍👍

[@anniethompson9207]

You look like you are having a great time creating all your beautiful pages..thank you for your inspiration..💜🧡💛💚🤍🖤..🤗🤗

[@jackiekeegan1678]

WOW! Love the effect of the paper towel over the oxides. Also like that you left in all the trial and error, it is good to know that the You Tubers I watch don't know exactly where they are going to put their bits and pieces. I can work for days on a project until I am happy with it. Thanks for sharing.

[@AmberKCreative]

Definitely the magic of editing!!! 💜

[@suze0217]

Beautiful imperfection❤️ Love it

[@SunshineLeclair]

omg I'm in love with that paper towel effect too .... yes yes I'm going to try it!! Donna

[@rnee1000]

Fantastic!!! I will definitely be trying this out!

[@beckyswartzlander9923]

I love it! I will absolutely give it a try! TFS

[@janevincent7103]

Hi Bella, YES, I will definitely try this technique. I'm making a bunch of backgrounds to take with me on a month long journey. Then I can add to, collage, draw over, etc. Since I can't take All of my art stuff with me (oh no), I'll have fun getting a head start. I'm excited to do it and I just love your results. The colors look great (I admit to using lots of aqua, pink, and purple too, I love bright colors), but this one goes great with the ephemera and your sentiments. Thank you. Jane

[@pennymeyer3416]

Thank you again, Amber, for another great video. Your humor is the cherry on top.

[@indybeth200]

Wow..I was just riveted watching you make that.. I have a new favorite channel! Your pages are just beautiful!

[@AmberKCreative]

Aww thank you so much!

[@LeighPogue]

Very cool thing you’ve happened upon. Love the texture it gives. Very nice

[@creationsbyjsheri]

Beautiful page. I love the texture you get from the paper towel. TFS!

[@elainesinniger]

Just want to say I really love your videos, and they help me a LOT. Thank you!

[@AmberKCreative]

I'm so glad, Elaine! Thanks for watching! 💜

[@alicejump2290]

Really loved what happened with the oxide ink on gesso end card stock and you have given me new respect for paper towel texture!

[@functionoflightone]

It is a cool technique! This is really beautiful.

[@WeeCrafts]

I enjoy watching your videos! Love to watch your creations bloom.

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you, Yvonne!!!

[@karentoms6872]

Supermarkets everywhere, beware there will be a run on paper towels!!!! Well done. Xxx

[@AmberKCreative]

LOLOL!

[@shirapayano4645]

AWESOME!!!! I’m definitely going toggle this a try. I love your videos and channel! I always learn something or I’m always left with something new to try. You’re an inspiration! Keep it up! Thanks so much for sharing your projects with us.

[@AmberKCreative]

You're so sweet, Shira, Thank you!!!

[@chantaldesnoyers9691]

[@AmberKCreative]

Thanks so much for watching!!! 💙

[@kimbailey4708]

WOW!! Absolutely LOVE this one 👏👏

[@AmberKCreative]

Thanks, Kim!!!

[@Pigmentology]

Really love your videos, this one is especially awesome! I haven't been able to spend money on the new oxides but seeing how versatile they are, I might need to get just a couple.

[@AmberKCreative]

Totally, just start with a couple of them! They really are my favorite inks of all time. 😮

[@JanisK1953]

Once you start with a couple you will want them all, trust me, I did and got them all!

[@debbiebrewington7635]

I love this, yes will give it a go! 😳Thank you

[@nataschavelings]

Love this video, so simple but so nice. I dont have oxides yet but I want them a lot, now even more after this video.

[@AmberKCreative]

I think it should work to some extent with any water based ink on gessoed paper. 😀

[@nataschavelings]

Bella Rose Creative I have all versamagic inkts. I will try it

[@mariskaderksen9491]

The Netherlands, I love this wonderfull piece!

[@JayDub_143]

Oh Amber this is the most GORGEOUS background I have ever seen!!!! I have got to try this as well! Thank you so much for sharing I am totally in love with this and beyond inspired!!!! Huge crafty hugs!!! ♥

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you so much!!! ♥

[@plumsystar]

The oxide inks really blended together and the details I will have to try. Beautiful!

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you, Alicia!

[@barbaraleventhal8571]

Love the colors and details.

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you, Barbara!

[@sarahsadori9521]

I had to pause at 2:48 and literally run into bath and kitchen... I tell ya... our Toilettpaper has often better patterns than our papertowels 😅 this time we have leaves and last time unicorns (but I didn't though about this myself so I have to force my family to use more Toilettpaper?) I'm so going to try this. You're a genius!

[@michellenadraszky8712]

Can't stop. Won't stop! Very cool!!! :)

[@AmberKCreative]

lol, Thanks, Michelle!

[@annewoia586]

Gorgeous Pattern looks like Burlap fabric love this thanks for sharing

Thank you!

[@leannechester9531]

I have most of these products as I’ve become a bit of a collector ☺️ thanks for showing me how to use them!! -canada

[@anniemorris5855]

Late to the party commenting and liking this video... how very beautiful! The brand of paper towels I use in Australia has beautiful wavey lines, so should go well with this technique. I watched it very late at night and you inspired me that morning to take all the colours you used to do my tags in my lunch break at work. My colleagues at work always drop by to check out my 'playing'. They all expressed surprise at the not normal 'Annie colours' but liked them. Thanks for reminding us to step outside of our comfort zone / routine. In between the usual weekend housework groundhog day, I will give this a go! Also just realised you are working in a tan journal. Only taken me two videos so far to twig to this. Couldn't for the life of me work out what was different. I can be so dense at times... 😂. P S loved watching your though processes of trying different positions of your clusters.

[@AmberKCreative]

I'm so glad you liked it, and were inspired to use not-your-typical-colors! 💙😊

[@michaelannfitzgerald8742]

Cool technique and love the colors! 😄

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you!! 💙😊💚

[@wmwilkinson1]

Omg love the paper towel thing 👍

[@AmberKCreative]

So cool, right!!??

[@llcreationsstudiojournals]

WOW I am a brand new sub , Love this so much and will try this on one of my journal covers!! TFS...Linda

[@toniscott1029]

Really love this one!

[@catgirldo7646]

As always - I love your artistry. I am so excited to share this with you & your "posse". Tonight my neighbor asked me to go to Bingo with her. I've never ever ever gone to Bingo in my entire life. In order to play Bingo you have to have "bingo markers" and you can buy them at the Bingo Hall. They're ink. They're in all colors. You take the cap off, turn the marker upside down and press down on the paper and it makes the most beautiful near perfect ink circles you can imagine. At they Bingo Hall they cost $1.50 but one of the ladies told me you can buy them at the Dollar Store for....here it comes...$1.00. I was more interested in the bingo markers than the game. My friend was laughing so hard because I took a few markers and was making little flowers, etc. Hate bingo but love the bingo ink markers. Run Ladies...run and get beautiful and cheap inks.

[@AmberKCreative]

LOLOL So funny!

[@hemjoo]

Who would have guessed? The humble kitchen towel!😄

[@pamburke8614]

Awesome technique! Love it. Will try for sure.

[@AmberKCreative]

Thanks, Pam!!!

[@jackiek6424]

Beautiful! That is such a happy accident with the paper towel, I can't wait to try it. I also didn't realize I could use ink for embossing, I thought you always had to use embossing medium, so thanks for that!

[@AmberKCreative]

Thanks, Jackie!

[@jackiecleveland]

Really enjoyed the paper towel discovery, ur pages look marvelous.... Mixed media is rough on my manacures too! LOL.

[@jansiehs2239]

Love your techniques, can't wait to try them, I just watched the video with the smushing too. TFS

[@AmberKCreative]

Thanks, Jan!

[@joseedostie-kodja5711]

I love your work!

[@louiseadams5437]

Brilliant love tutorials inspiring try birds today 😀

[@amhdiycrafts2945]

I'm trying this right now.

[@killasutti]

Hi! I don't have that oxides bit I think will try with another material, I'll see if I can get something similar. Thank you.

[@catieb450]

Definitely going to try this!

[@barbaraburns1125]

Love the technique, noticed it took the shape of your fingers through the paper towel therefore you could probably use various items to ' blot' through the paper towel and double your design creations

[@ChasingTadpoles]

Love it. Very cool 💕

[@geenamarquez76]

Omg love it!! Great accidental technique too lol

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you, Geena!

[@taylorjudi]

Great video. I just watched two in a row where the artist didn't use a block to stamp with her acrylic stamps. I may need to see how that works for me. Love these pages.

[@debbiehight]

good stuff!! & that King Tuff seems to be a wise man :-D

[@elizajournals]

Amazing!!! Love this!

[@ladylexusis350]

Love this technique 💛🖤!! tfs!!!

[@AmberKCreative]

😊💙

[@patbennett2251]

Great video!

[@karenatkinson4053]

What an awesome technique!!! I love the way this turned out. I don't have the Distress Oxides, but I do have the Original Distress Inks. I may try it with these to see if it works.

[@AmberKCreative]

I bet it does work but probably won't be as "crisp?." Used gessoed paper for sure!

[@karenatkinson4053]

Okay, thank you.

[@marieannehonsberger6536]

great video! love the soft colours...I have sub to your chanel to continueto get inspiration...tks

[@billieconnole2129]

[@sylviechadwick2254]

My husband has declared me a little looney! He can't understand why I need to look at the patterns on the paper towels or toilet paper. Who knew there were so many different ones to choose from!!!! LOL

[@msjr1765]

😂😂🤣

[@justinetafolla8060]

Wowow! Tyty amazing 💕

[@bonnerdebbie]

[@jessicaouzts7062]

[@mariemartin3989]

[@AmberKCreative]

Thanks, Marie!

[@crazycrafter2570]

[@AmberKCreative]

That's just water. =)

[@ibkristykat]

[@AmberKCreative]

lol. It's so fun and easy!

[@rrahbit]

sorry to say this .. but .. thank you for not talking.. i get antsy with alot of talking .. i love this kind of video ... i dont need alot of explaination on how to do things... .. thank you so much ...

[@diannenash6549]

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you, Dianne! 💙

[@lenej9514]

This is the first time I have watched one of your videos. Love the paper towel tip and generally enjoyed watching your techniques. I also love the music but the link didn't work for me. Can you tell me who the guitarist is please?

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you, Lene! I believe it is Neil Cross???

[@lenej9514]

Bella Rose Creative Thanks. I'm going through your videos and find them really inspiring

[@aprilsmommy1]

Love!! Can't wait to try the "paper towel" technique. Will heavy gesso work or acrylic gesso? Just beautiful!! :)

[@AmberKCreative]

I think any gesso would be fine. 😊

[@aprilsmommy1]

Thank you Bella Rose

[@katericochran4634]

Brilliant!!!

[@madabtab]

Bella - can you Please tell me - do you work standing up rather just sitting down? Been trying to figure it out as I am just starting out! Can anyone else help me with this? I sure would appreciate it so much?!!! Thanks!

[@AmberKCreative]

I sit, but you do whatever is most comfortable for you! =)

[@nellychrispeels602]

❤❤❤❤ superbe.😉

[@SavedByMyKing]

Whoa! I'm the FIRST "LIKE"! I can't believe it! 😂 This was an amazing video and YES! We're going to try that new technique very soon! Today is Regan's Birthday and she's allowed to Art all day. 😊 Thanks for sharing this gorgeousness. One question: just how long did this take to make? I'm the s l o w e s t crafter ever. Seriously. I'm like a turtle-artist. 🐢 🎨

[@AmberKCreative]

Oh, geez, I'm sure it took at least an hour. The magic of editing makes me look super fast and efficient! lol

[@SavedByMyKing]

Amber, that is still really fast!
