Hello, crafty friends. Tim Holtz recently revealed the new Distress color HERE and it has quickly become my favorite. It reminds me of the ocean (my happy place) so I’m sharing a couple of ocean themed cards today…
For the first card…
I started by applying white embossing paste through the Spring Boho Circle stencil. After it was dry, I sprayed Salvaged Patina Distress Stain on top heavily and then spritzed with water to get the color moving. After it was dry, I sprayed the Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Spray in a few spots to lighten it up a bit as well as flicking on some Brushed Pewter spray stain for some added interest.
I die-cut THESE Kitsch Flamingo panels using the Storybook Seahorse Die. I added some googly eyes and adhered them on top of the background along with a few Bubble Blow Out embellishments. I finished it off with a sentiment from the Be a Mermaid stamp set.
Here’s a closer look…
For the second card…
I ink blended a panel with three colors of Distress Oxide ink. The bottom is Salty Ocean. The middle is Peacock Feathers. The top is Salvaged Patina. I used the Detail Swirls Plate die to add some texture. I heat embossed the Friendship Text background using the Salvaged Patina embossing glaze. I white heat embossed the mermaid tail and some bubbles from the Be a Mermaid stamp set and added a sentiment from the same set. I also flicked on more of that Brushed Pewter spray stain as well as some drops of water. I finished off the design with more of those baubles…
Here’s a closer look at all that texture…
I hope this gives you a better look at the new distress color.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!
