52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
While waiting for Bake Off to come on TV last night, I made some more Distress Oxide backgrounds.
It's funny, I used to make and use a lot of these, but for some reason in recent months I seem to have used other things. I love the way the colours distort when they hit each other. That is one of the reasons I prefer to work with the Distress Oxide Inks rather than the original Distress Inks as the Oxide colours tend not to get muddy looking.
Listening to the news, I found myself needing to do something soothing, so I made a couple of tag bacgrounds for future use.
I used "Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Cracked Pistachio and Abandoned Coral, applied by swooshing the tag through the ink in the order I have just listed (light to dark).
Such a pretty colour combo. I hope I can do them justice when I come to use them.
I usually have a whole stash of tag backgrounds that I can draw from, but I noticed the stock is very depleted. Nothing was on TV last night that I was interested in, so I had a play with some spray inks. I've used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray (for the more dull coloured tags). For the brighter tags I have used the Dylusions Ink Spray. These should keep me going for a little while.
I've just randomly sprayed the colours onto the tags with no plan of how they will be used in future.
I also need to make more backgrounds for cards, which I find takes more time, so I may crack on with those this afternoon.
Have a good Tuesday. Sam x
