Today I'm playing along with the
Color Throwdown Challenge. It's been a while since I've done so and I loved the colors they had for this challenge. I decided to do a one layer card so the first thing I did was emboss the image of my
Big Blooms - Daisy from
Taylored Expressions with white embossing powder. Then, I used my
Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks to watercolor it. I was pleasantly surprised that the
Crumb Cake cardstock from
Stampin' Up! held up to the water as well as it did. The sentiment is actually stamped in
Basic Gray ink but it looks black in the photo. I love those oxide inks.
Stamp Sets: Big Blooms - Daisy (Taylored Expressions), Background Bits - sentiment (Stampin' Up!);
Ink: Basic Gray;
Distress Oxide Inks: Black Soot, Peeled Paint, Wilted Violet (Tim Holtz);
Cardstock: Crumb Cake;
Other: Whisper White Embossing Powder (Stampin' Up!)
The colors I used are from the
Color Throwdown Challenge. For all the challenge details and to share your project, click the image below.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Liz!
DeleteI haven't watercolored with the oxide inks, but it sure looks nice! Great job on the color challenge
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terri! I love the way the oxides look when water is added to them. You never know what you are going to get.
