Oxide Spray Background Thank You Card

I used the bonus die for Clarity Club members who paid for 2021 up front to create this Thank You card with a Distress Oxide spray background.

Happy Birthday Friend!

I made this piece of art work/card for a good friend whose birthday is today.  As I have been unable to get it to her, she will have to have a virtual version until it is safe to deliver it.

Coloured Background but Uncoloured Focal Point

I decided to bring the stamp to the front of this card using masking fluid and creating a darker background.  I deliberately left the main image uncoloured to stand out against the background.

Box for a Concertina Tag Card

Yesterday I shared how I made a concertina tag card (see HERE).  Today I will show you how I made a box for it and decorated it in a similar style.

Concertina Tag Card with Dee's New Friends

When I received the A6 stamps of Dee's newest friends to play with, I couldn't decide which set to use first, so I used all of them and made a concertina tag book.

Mandala Notelet

These mixed media journal stamps from Clarity aren't just for journaling.  They can be used for all sizes of cards too.  Here I worked with a 5" x 5" card blank.

Fearless Wings, Heart Free: Layered Tag with Oxide Sprays

I haven't participated in a challenge for a while, so decided to work on a tag for the Anything Goes June Challenge over on Love to Craft.

Layers on Layers: A Birthday Card

This is the card I made using the left over ink off the stencils that I used for yesterday's art journal page (see HERE).  Although Leonie's stamps are large, they can still be used for smaller projects.

Distress Oxide Sprays with Nested Stamps and Stencils: Art Journal Page

I couldn't resist creating an art journal page with these new stamps and stencils designed by Leonie Pujol for Claritystamp.  She will be demonstrating them on Hochanda today at 8am and 12pm along with lots of different shapes and her new sentiment stickers.

Futuristic Forest Tag: Mixing Yupo and Book Text

As promised, here is the piece where I used up the Yupo paper trees from yesterday's project.

A Combination of Distress Oxide Sprays, Distress Resist and Stencils

This is the first of the samples that I made using stencils designed by Leonie Pujol for Claritystamp.  Even though the new circus stencils are 9" in diameter, small areas can be picked out and used in combination with previous releases.  I had another play with my Distress Oxide sprays too!

Experiment with Distress Oxide Sprays and Distress Archival Inks on a Tag

I often use a tag to try out new products and techniques.  As one of the prompts on this month's challenge over on Tag It Tuesday is 'Use Spray Inks', I decided to try out a couple of the new Distress Oxide sprays.  Each month there are four prompts and at least two have to be used.  The additional prompts this month were 'Put a leaf on it', 'Draw, paint or write using your non dominant hand' and 'Green'.  I used all four prompts.

WOYWW 511: On My Lonesome

Welcome to yet another Wednesday sharing my desk with fellow fans of What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday (WOYWW).  Julia has been keeping deskers from all around the world in order for nearly 10 years.  New deskers are welcome at any time, so please join us over on The Stamping Ground where Mr Linky is waiting for you.

I thought I'd take a photo from a slightly different angle this week.  As you can see, there was no action taking place on the other side of the desk as Eva was not able to come and craft with me yesterday.  For once I did actually have something on my desk which I can share, as I am between samples at the moment.  I thought it was about time that I tried out some of the new Distress Oxide sprays so grabbed a tag and made a start.

This is how it finished up.  I'll be sharing the step by step tomorrow, so please feel free to pop back if you want to see how it came together.  I'll be popping in to visit desks this evening after work.  Tomorrow I am heading up to Stockport for a get together with Lou Withers and other crafty friends at Hobbycraft.  It is December since we last managed to coordinate our calendars, so I am really looking forward to it.  Happy WOYWW.
