With Sympathy

In a recent blog, Stamper Extraordinaire Jennifer McGuire noted that while Distress inks blend beautifully, Distress Oxide inks are even better when it comes to blend-ability . . .

  . . . so with my Life Changing brushes, I gave the Oxide inks a try on the background panel after putting it through an embossing folder.  She was right . . .  I got the lovely, subtle results I was after.  The Oxide line has a chalky finish which is good for some effects, but I wanted a tiny bit of gleam here, so I spritzed twice with Perfect Pearls spray in gold.
