Hi lovely crafty friends, today I have Halloween cards to show you. I used the Tim Holtz Masquerade die and I immediately thought
this was a super cool die but I had no ideas or
plan with it. Usually I only buy dies when I have a plan:-) Now I have loads of
plans so you will see more of this die.
If you haven’t seen my first video Distress Oxide Spray Techniques without spraying make sure to check that out. I am going to make some easy backgrounds with Distress Oxide Sprays and I have some tips on how to use the sprays. So be sure to watch the video for all info.
I am going to make backgrounds with Distress Oxide sprays. Since my first video on the sprays
For this card I used the two colours Distress oxide spray and I coloured the mask with just one colour. By using the Tim Holtz – Distress Sprayer ( SBC | JGG | BLT ) with water you can create fun texture and chalky effect when the ink oxidizes. And you can blend the colour by letting it go from dark to light which is real easy to do.
For this background I used two Distress Oxides Sprays – Wilted Violet ( SBC | CST | CRF ) and Walnut Stain ( SBC | CST | CRF ) I used Craft Perfect Ultra Smooth Card ( CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC ) for all my cards and for the masks.
This background was made with just one colour Distress Oxides Spray – Walnut Stain ( SBC | CST | CRF )
Here I added a pattern on the background with a Tim Holtz – Layering Stencil – Mini Set 30 ( SBC ) and just a little Distress Oxide Ink – Black Soot ( SBC | CRF ) to keep the chalky effect.
On this card I used a combination of Distress Oxides Spray – Spiced Marmalade ( SBC | CST | CRF ) and Iced Spruce ( SBC | CST | CRF )
Lots of texture going on on this card and I added some black thread as a fun detail to add to the spooky theme.
And for this softer looking card I used Distress Oxides Spray – Victorian Velvet ( SBC | CRF | CST ) and Pumice Stone ( SBC | CST | CRF )
The oxide spray gives such a cool effect I really like it and it’s fast too. And the different colours you get with one colour oxide spray is so pretty.
and Distress Oxide Ink – Iced Spruce ( SBC | CST | CRF | JGG ) it’s fun to give the same mask different looks.
I hope this post inspired you, thanks for stopping by and make sure to keep on crafting!
