When I heard about these new Distress Oxide inks, I watched a YouTube video about them. Since I could get them wholesale, I purchased some.
This was my first experiment with them. The Distress Oxide inks are more intense than the regular Distress inks and they blend more easily. I masked off a strip on the card base and then using my the round sponge tool from Tim Holtz, I swirled the colors in rainbow order. They do blend together where they overlap. My only problem was that I got lines from the sponge. After I added this beautiful Tutti die cut, it covered those lines pretty well.
I'm not sure if I will add any type of sentiment on the front or not although the card is a little plain. I wish I would have moved the masked area further to the left and then done some embossing on the solid white area before adding the die cut. There's always a next time.
Thanks for coming by today!

Very pretty Vicki. A suggestion to reduce the lines is to use a very very light hand and to pounce the ink off on scratch paper before bringing it to your card stock. I love the oxide inks! But there was a little learning curve from the regular distress inks, in my opinion
