As we've just received our new 12 colours of the Distress Oxide inks I thought we should have another play with them. I also wanted to touch again on a product we last used about 5 years ago, Goosebumps Texture Spray. The Goosebumps acts as a textured resist when sprayed onto a plain white card and allowed to dry before applying inks (or indeed other methods of adding colour). After you've applied your colour you will find the Goosebumps will have dulled but they simply need a wipe over with a baby wipe to remove the excess ink and they are back to brilliant white again. Obviously, if you have coloured a card first and then spray the Goosebumps, the colour will be whatever is under the Goosebumps as it simply acts as a resist, but with the added bonus of wonderful texture!
The last card, Art of Drawing, doesn't have any Goosebumps on it. After colouring the card using Distress Oxides I have then used a Perfect Pearl Spray (water in a spritz bottle with some Perfect Pearl in the white colour mixed together) and flicked large droplets on and allowed to dry. This creates shimmery droplets on top of the Distress Oxides for a different effect.
Once again I'm wishing the computer screen allowed you to see how these cards look in real life.
