It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "We've got your number".
This card I've made for my mother's 70th birthday. I started to build up a background with Cracked Pistachio, Broken China and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide. What a cool effect these Oxides give. I always have to hold myself in because you can make as many layers as you like. I haven't count the layers, but I'm thinking about 7 or maybe 8...
I've added some depth and interest with different Distress Oxide inks and number stamps. Oxides work better for stamping ink then Distress Ink. And what the best part is that you can stamp light colors on dark backgrounds.
As a little girl I picked wildflowers for my mother's birthday. So I used these Wildflowers (thanks Marzena!) and colored with Metallique Waxes Rose Gold, Old Silver and Bronze Age. On an even surface, it's very easy to apply an even layer so it appears that the paper original has that color. Often the waxes are used for highlights, so I'm pleased that I can use it for coloring even surfaces as well.

Your welcome :-) Amazing how the layers of Oxide are hard to stop be making! Can't wait my ordered Oxides and putting myself in the trance of unstoppable background building :-) Greta colors, so soft and warm. Hugs, Marzena.
What a wonderful card! I think your colors are always amazing and I love how this piece manages to be vibrant and a bit muted at the same time. Your layering is too-notch and I especially like the way you incorporated the flower silhouettes.
Love the look of the oxide inks and the wildflower die, all on my wishlist!
Beautiful work,
