Obsessed with Distress Oxides with Craftin Desert Divas

Hi Crafty Friends

Yep that's true - I'm obsessed with Distress Oxides!

Today I'm sharing one of my favorite techniques with Distress Oxides together with some of the amazing Craftin Desert Divas DT ladies - go check it out

Before you jump over to see the other amazing cards, let me show you how you can create a quick, simple and beautiful background - by making a colorsplash with Distress Oxides!

I love working with this simple technique, and the background are just amazing! 

I picked the new 'Moved Lawn' for my card today - amazing green color.

For this technique I use a piece of cellophane, watercoloring cardstock, mini water spray and Distress Oxide - it is so simple, take a look.

After the ink dried I used the 'Fancy Frame Dies' and my background is all done - simple and beautiful!

I colored up the cute bear from 'Critter Punnies' with E50-E51-E21

That's how you create a quick, simple and beautiful background - by making a colorsplash with Distress Oxides <3 I hope you want to give it a try yourself.

Thanks for stopping by today, see you soon again.

Hugs,

Janni

Smiles Across The Miles with Craftin Desert Divas

Hi Crafty Friends

One of the best things in this amazing crafty world, is to create beautiful and personal cards! I love to create and send out handmade cards, and for family and friends I always give them a personal touch, like the persons name or a thing that relates to the person receiving it. 

Today I want to show you this cute card I made for Craftin Desert Divas Creative Challenge - a challenge full of amazing card ideas for you

Smiles Across the Miles: Tips for Handmade Encouragement that Shows You Care 

For this card I used the super cute little girl from 'Fruity Friends' stamp set <3

I guess she's a little pear, but I just had to try to color her up as a little happy peach, and I love the result. The sweet sentiment is from 'Ice Cream Treat'.

I used the 'Fancy Frame Dies' to create my background, and colored up the background with 'Cracked Pistachio' Distress Oxide.

Let's get started with the Copic coloring <3

I have a lot of favorite combos, one of them is for skin coloring - I always use E21-E11 and I always start using the lightest color. For the cheeks I used R11.

I love to color the hair blond, and I always do highlights by leaving a white space - it makes it look so shiny. The combo I used for the hair: E50-E51-E53.

For the cute peach I used YR000-YR01-YR02, and again I always start using the lightest color. I used R22 to make the small highlights. The top is colored with YG11-G12 and E23.

To color the little butterfly I used R32-R22 and G40.

I took a close up to show you the highlights I made with a white gel pen. Oh my she really is cute don't you think!

That's all from me today, I hope my card gave you some ideas for your own cardmaking.
