EMBOSSING FOLDER OXIDE BACKGROUNDS

Is there nothing that Distress Oxides can't do?  These are backgrounds that are made by pressing Distress Oxides onto one side of an embossing folder, placing gloss card inside and running through your die-cut machine.  The reason you use gloss card is it will spread the colour really well though you do need to buff it after to get the excess pigment off.  You need to clean your embossing folders as well straight after you've used them so you don't forget and transfer the ink to another project.  No water was used in this technique as the ink is wet enough to transfer around the card by itself.  I put the ink on the side where the design is recessed, that way the design stays white as no ink goes into the recesses.  

"Antiques"...

"Go with the flow"...

"Creep it real"...

"Too glam"...

"Without dreams"...
