Distress Oxide Play Time

Hi all 

Well as you have noticed things at Crafty Bat HQ have been hectic but I finally got around to having a quick play with my Distress Oxide Inks YAAAAY!!

So here we are this is what I have been up to with them I did some tags to start with and I have to say I absolutely LOVE how the Oxide inks work even the finished results are AMAZING.. One of the things I LOVE LOVE LOVE about them is how they light up in water hits them *swoon*

On the top tag I used Wilted Violet, Cracked Pistachio and Salty Ocean then on the bottom tag I used Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade and a bit of Worn Lipstick

Here is what happened with the first tag, I couldn't resist not using my latest additions to my Visible Image Stamps here I used Face It and Own It with the border being the stars from the Rock Out Set 

Aren't the colours stunning

The second tag has not been completed yet but as soon as it is I shall show you all :). I am also going to be doing a journal page using the oxide inks.

Mixed Media Tags

Hi all

Today's post is something a bit different which i have been meaning do for a while now, I have been doing some Mixed Media Tags, I had so much fun doing these and plan on doing more.

Here are the three tags that I have completed so far.

As you can see they are all different, I am going to list what I used for each one and show you an individual picture for each one too.

So the first one I did was this one

For this tag I used the following:

Tim Holtz - Manila Tags

Brusho's

Dina Wakeley Stamp and Stencil Set - Silhouetted Essentials

Dylusions Stamp Set - Hearts Edge Set 

Inkylicious Stamps - Dancing In The Rain Set (one of the sentiments)

Distress Ink

Blending Tool

The next tag I did was this one and I have to admit i love how this one came out.

For this tag I did the monoprint technique for the background and used the following materials:
