Good Thursday Morning Ladies,
We had a very gloomy start to yesterday, to the point I was going to wear a thick jumper, luckily I didn’t as Lucy and I went out for brunch and the sun was so warm, it was like a summers day ☀️. We had a lovely day out, browsing round the shops.
Today I am sharing the second of my two Autumnal Distress cards, this one is Distress Oxides, so much more subtle in colour.
I have to say that I am really surprised at the difference in colour between the two ...
They are both exactly the same shades of distress...
Fossilised Amber, Abandoned Coral & Spiced Marmalade.
The Distress inks are so much richer in the depth of colour, which is why I have been tending to reach for them rather than oxides recently but I have to say that blending with Oxides is SO much easier as they have such a creamy texture it just glides on the card.
I can't pick a favourite, they are both lovely in their own way but I feel that Distress inks are more Autumnal.
What do you all think? Do you have a preference?
I hope that you all have a lovely day,
Love & huge hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx
Both are beautiful I haven’t got a favourite I don’t have many of either and I don’t use them as much as I should
ReplyDeleteThe visit to the dentist went extremely well She was lovely and really put me at ease I need a lot of work - mainly repair work to existing fillings etc
I hope to make at least one card today
Take care everyone xx
Hi, love your cards, think I like the original inks better, though I use both as you say the oxides blend better.
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed yesterday, somehow I didn’t even look at any of the blogs I normally read.
Tried another card yesterday, but had to bin it, the colouring was terrible, my hands are so shaky now. Hoping to do another one this afternoon.
Nice easy dinner tonight, chicken legs , salad and jacket potatoes. With Sainsburys taste the difference coleslaw. Cooked enough for tonight and cold for lunch tomorrow.
It’s warm here , but quite windy, R cutting the grass before the rains come at the weekend.
Have noticed spiders are making there way in, had one crawling up my leg yesterday, ugh.
Have a good rest of the day whatever you’re doing. Lilian
