What a fun time I've had this week playing with my new Distress Oxide pads. I created this happy little canvas as a nod to warmer days a coming.
Some closeup details of this yummy DOX background.
Make sure to check out the full background tutorial at Stamps & Stencils.
I layered my found relative with various DOX inky papers and Spellbinders wreath dies, also inked with DOX.
I just love this little girl! I am part fish, so she and I have a lot in common. :)
I used a combination of Prima flowers with my new Tim Holtz Small Tattered Florals die. These yellow flowers make me so happy! I used Art Stones for my centers. The leafy die is by Verve Stamps. Thank you for visiting today!

This is a happy little canvas, and I love it! Beautiful colors and embellishments and love the new DOX inks. I didn't know you liked to swim, Autumn, you should have put your picture in there (although she is a cutie!). Hugs :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't have many childhood pictures, but you are right! I do need to dig up some personal photos to use in my collages. Thanks Marty! <3
DeleteFabulous first play with the DOX! You have inspired me more than you will ever know! I had my first play with mine the other day, and it was a total wash out! I did end up using one with a stamp and I was impressed. I am VERY impressed by your sunny background here and your adding the DOX to paste! So clever, you! So you are a fish?! Not me! Perhaps we should swap addresses! I'm a hilly billy, and it's been awhile since anyone has seen me in a swimsuit!! Tee Hee! Off to have a look at your tutorial! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWOW this is a fabulous canvas, great way of using those new pads.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at Simon says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
