Triple Greetings


More of the fun Hey Birthday Chick bundle. The sentiment is from Sweet Strawberry stamp set and the background squares are from Tasteful Touches. The chickens were colored with Ohuhu alcohol ink markers. The chickens are a great all occasion greeting!
 

Rustic Donkey

A simple presentation of the Darling Donkey - a 2021 saleabration set. The wood panel background is stamped with Hardwood background stamp in Dapper Denim, and then I used the blending brushes to add a little Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Ink. The fence panel is a die cut from the Hey Chick dies and the sentiment is from the Sweet Strawberry set. The donkey was colored with Copic markers.

 

Plaid Chick


I can't seem to get enough of the Hey, Chick and Hey Birthday Chick bundles. I opted for a more colorful background on this one. The Cucumber Green background panel is embossed with the old Tulip Frame ef. I created the plaid background panel with a paint brush and distress oxide inks on watercolor paper (Mowed Lawn, Pine Needles and Twisted Cirtron). The chickens are colored with Ohuhu alcohol ink markers.

 

Simple Hey Chick

Another card using the Hey Birthday Chick bundle and the Hey Chick bundles. I thought I'd leave more "white" and let the cute chickens do the work!

Distress Oxide Ink Gears







Smoky Slate Cardstock & Distress Oxide Inks

I created this quick video to show you how you can take a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock and turn it into a mottled, grungey, oxidized looking piece for die cutting the Garage Gears thinlits. I used the Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Black Soot, Walnut Stain, Antique Linen, Hickory Smoke, Frayed Burlap and Tumbled Glass. To finish off the piece, I added some of the Ranger micro distress glaze.

All of the embossed panels were made using the different distress oxide inks, in the same way as the garage gears, just different colors.
