Distress Ink and Distress Oxide Swatches and Colour Combos
This post shows how I create colour combos (lots and lots of them) using distress inks and distress oxide inks. I also show a new ink blending technique - the 'Luke Brennan pouncing technique'! And I make 5 cards showcasing these different techniques.
Check out the video here for Distress Ink Storage, Foam Storage, Reinker Storage, Distress Ink Swatches, and Color Combo Swatches.

Cards with Distress Ink Combinations
Ink Blending Techniques
Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, Dusty Concord
Method #1 - Ink blending with circular motion using an ink blending tool with foam
Method #2 - Method #1 + ‘pouncing’ colour with foam to intensify distress ink colour
Method #3 - Method #1 + Method #2 + sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder (x5) + stamp while glaze still hot to create stamp impression. It will be much better to use Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE) for this technique.
