Demonstrating to friends and distress oxide play.

Hello there! How are you? I hope you are happy! Feeling pretty good here. Thanks for your kind words on ysterdays post. Todays is the result of my day yesterday. After my swim I went over to pick up my friend Sue - she's one of my running buddies but also used to be my boss. We were going to meet at another former colleagues house (Julia) along with another chemistry teacher (Cheryl)! Julia had invited us over for lunch and demonstrations! Our brief was to do a demonstration for the others on something of our choice. I decided to make some backgrounds and introduced them to distress inks and also shaving foam backgrounds. Whilst there I also did some origami and played the ukelele. well when I say played .......

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!

Hugs
