I stamped up the distress background I made with stamps from Visible image.
When I got home the postman had been - my new distress oxides had arrived - I got a few colours to play with - and had to make a background to put the topper above onto.
Here's the overall effect......
As you can see the finish is much more matt compared to the inks. I layered up the distress oxides - having wiped them across my craft mat and added spray of water. I also stamped with the orange distress oxide (think it was spiced marmalade) and it seemed to stamp well.
Here's another shot of that stamped image.
I am looking forward to playing some more - they do look like fun!!!
I'm off to the spa at whinfell forest today with brown owl! I hope its going to be a good one!

Beautiful sunny and bold colors on that central panel. Your play with your new Oxides looks quite productive! Mine are still in the package from the Funkie Junkie. Something to look forward to if I can ever dig out! Sending hugs!
