Up up and away

Some people I know would say I’m good at ‘making a scene’ but that aside, I made a simple scene for the challenge at Allsorts, using Oxides and Inkylicious stamps. I used to stamp a lot of scenes, but I haven’t been doing many lately, so maybe it’s time to start again…
I was browsing my downloaded ‘Ideas’ folder and came across a partially masked card, so I had to give it a go. I suppose this is a sort of scene, too, but not quite what I understood from the challenge. It was fun to make.
Back to rainbows…
I’ve been playing with more rainbows but I thought I’d do a comparison of Oxides and Distress Inks, so here’s how I started… I just swiped these three colours on my craft mat (I have a glass one beneath my non stick mat).
These are the Oxides.
Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Salty Ocean
I then spritzed with water
Distress Inks
Oxides
I then smooshed (technical term) a piece of cardstock in each – a different one for each, just in case you misunderstand…
In the interest of science, I used both plain (hammered) card and watercolour paper, so I could compare them.
Here are two of the results on watercolour paper – the first one is Distress Inks, the second is Oxides.
Distress Inks again, on watercolour card.
There will be more to follow…
Then I decided just to swipe the inks directly onto the cardstock/paper.
This is the result in one of my journals.
Distress inks on the left, Oxides on the right.
Two cards made in the same way…
This one’s Distress inks on hammered card (spattered with inks).
I only added the white pen because the trees almost disappeared in the strong colour – it spoils it, really.
This one is on watercolour paper and is Oxides – shamelessly cased from a Pinterest post I saw ages ago. I love the result!
That’s enough for now…

A gorgeous selection of cards and I especially like the ones where you’ve smooshed the inks in the background, the colours are beautiful x
I am so pleased we got you back to scenic creation Cath and more than one of these would fit our Allsorts theme this week, the first one has such a peaceful look and then I am pulled towards the rainbow colours so fair to say I can't pick a fav today. But so please to see you joining in, many thanks.
