Layered Stamping with Distress Oxides

Hello Makers! Today I have a card to share with you using the final sets of Distress Oxide Minis. The technique for this card is a simple one that works so perfectly with Oxides due to their opaque quality that allows for layering stamped images. I’m inviting you to come along, and let’s get making!

Here is the video tutorial for this card.

Gather all the supplies

Using a Blending Tool and Blending Foam, begin blending a background through the Lace stencil and onto an A2 piece of White Heavystock in Tattered Rose Oxide.

Using the text stamps on French Garden, stamp them in various places on the background in Pumice Stone Oxide.

Get the leaf stamp from French Garden and place it in the top right corner. Stamp the edges of the leaves with Shabby Shutters.

Ink just the stem with Brushed Corduroy or Scorched Timber and stamp. then ink the inside/bottom of the leaves with Forest Moss and stamp.

You shoul have a varigated leaf like this when you are finished, Now flip the stamp upside down and do it again in the bottom left corner.

Once the leaves are stamped, stamp the berries the same way with Aged Mahogany for the berries and Scorched Timber for the branches.

Stamp the flower in Worn Lipstick and the shaded areas with Aged Mahogany. Stamp the leaves the same way as above.

It will look like this when finished Stamp a sentiment from the Tiny Text stamps in Aged Mahoghany. Trim it to a 3.8" strip.

Either fussy cut or die cut with the exclusive coordinating dies from Simon Says Stamp.

Add foam square to the back of the rose and the back of the sentiment strip.

Trim the background down by 1/8" then attach the background to the card base. 

Add the flower and sentiment, both popped up with foam squares.

Don't the oxides layer so beautifully?

I hope you enjoyed this simple card! Thank you for stopping by.
