DISTRESS OXIDE INKS & SPRAYS ON PHOTO PAPER

Distress Oxide Inks and Sprays are always water-reactive unless you fix them in some way, eg: Microglaze or Fixing Spray. However, if you use the Oxide Inks or Sprays on the shiny side of photo paper, the emulsion coating the photo paper grips onto the Oxide Inks and Sprays and leaves beautifully bright colours when the ink is washed off the photo paper. I have tried this technique with the regular Distress Inks and Sprays and while it works to some extent, the hybrid combination of the pigment and dye ink in the Oxide Inks and Sprays just works so much better. First up below is the cover for this Technique Book and I can't believe it's book #30! 

The size of this book cover is 20cm x 15cm
