Simon Says Stamp | Slimline Waves – You Add Color

I am probably the last person to jump on the Distress Oxide bandwagon. I don’t know why I resisted using Oxides for such a long time? Honestly, it was very foolish of me. I’m slowly building my Distress Oxide stash and I just received a few new colors. Of course, I had to test them out and play. Here’s the result!

CARD DETAILS

I used Simon’s Slimline Waves stencil and new ink blending brushes (oh my goodness, these blend like a dream and they come with clear caps and are color-coded, what else is there to wish for?). I didn’t want to make waves, instead, I blended a landscape with hills and sky.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

• Ink blend Simon’s Slimline Waves stencil with Distress Oxide inks onto Simon’s 120lb cardstock. I used the following Oxide colors: Antique Linen, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, and Broken China.
• Stamp scene in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and mini MISTI stamping tool using images from the All Seasons Trees stamp set. Stamp Miss You.
• Stamp birds in black ink using images from the Your Light stamp set or any other set with bird silhouettes.
• Adhere panel to mini Slimline card base 3 1/4 x 6 1/4″.
• Cut sentiment from Simon’s Sentiment Strips Reverse Sunshine, foam mount to card.
• Embellish card with Silver Mix gems from Spellbinders.Here are a few close-up images of this project:

Have fun stamping!
