Rust inspired D'Oxides

 I love playing with inks and colours to produce different layers of for distressed backgrounds. As it's Halloween month I thought I would try out rust effects with distress oxides to see what happened. I love the result.

On A4 card. Used scorched timber, walnut stain, vintage photo, hickory smoke D'oxides, splattered and dipped into walnut stain Spritz then mixed left over spritz to vintage photo DO and water and dipped into it. Did another puddle of vintage photo and water and dipped into it some more. Finally spritzed water droplets and dried.

Cut card into 3 pieces.....

.... and got a gorgeous layered dipped, drippy, distressed effect.


I make very few projects for Halloween usually and I've already got my Country View Challenge ones made and scheduled so I think I'll chop these three pieces in half again and aim to create 6 small 10.4 x 9.7 cm panels.
