Hello everyone! A couple of weeks ago I experimented with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide spray through a stencil I cut on the Silhouette Curio. You can see the Silhouette cutting post here<\/a> and the Distress Spray resist post here<\/a>. In this post I decided to experiment with the few Distress Oxide Ink pads that I own and attempt a similar technique.<\/p>\n

I inked a stamp with one color of the Distress Oxide Ink pads (Mermaid Lagoon) and then stamped with it on regular white cardstock. Then I sprayed over the top of the inked image with the regular Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stain (Antique Linen). The Distress Oxide has pigment in it, and the Distress Spray Stain does not. I was able to see a similar effect as I did in the previous experiment, where the Distress Oxide dried through\/resisted the Spray Stain- even with colors that were similar in value. I noticed some color shift, but the Spray Stain did not obliterate the Distress Oxide ink and so the stamped image came through.<\/p>\n

I dried the stamped image quickly with a heat gun and then decided to try spraying some more Distress Spray Stain over the top with a darker color (Rusty Hinge). I think next time I will wait until the entire image dries before adding more Spray Stain because it did look like the image smeared a little bit. Or maybe that was my terrible stamping job, haha.<\/p>\n

Here is the video of my experiment…<\/p>\n
