Distress Oxide Resist Background

Hello everyone! September is almost over and it seems to have just flown by. I have another STAMPtember project to share with you today, with a fun Distress Oxide resist background.

I made this tag for Leo, since his one and only favourite soft toy is a panda bear, which he calls 'Annie' or sometimes 'Annia'. The name comes from us calling his bear 'pandie'. The panda bear was made with the Picture Book Panda die, which is so cute. For the background, I used the STAMPtember Ornate Background stamp and Distress Oxides.

STAMPtember has been a month full of inspiration and new products. Simon Says Stamp has released a big collection for STAMPtember®, with stamps, dies, stencils, envelopes, cardstock and sequins. 

Start by white embossing the gorgeous Ornate Background on a heavystock tag.

Ink with Distress Oxides and mist with water. Dry in between and repeat. I also smeared some of the oxides on my craft sheet, misted with water and pressed the tag into the ink. Continue until you are happy with the result. Using light colors as these gives a subtle pastel background, for more of a punch, try using darker shades.

I also stamped the background here and there with the SSS Tiny Alphabet background stamp. The hearts were die cut from watercolor paper, pressed onto the Oxides ink pads and then misted with water. I really like this sentiment, from the Small Talk stickers.

The panda bear was die cut from Sizzix black and white paper leather and pieced together. I added a white highlight to the eyes with a white gel pen and coated them with Glossy Accents.

The sentiments come from the Amazing Messages set and were stamped on watercolor paper and watercolored with Distress Inks. I added Glossy Accents to the title.

Some cheese cloth, a piece of design tape and Label Letter stickers finished the tag.

I have also made a card with the panda, which you can find here, and I also used STAMPtember products on this autumn journal page.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog today! Have a lovely weekend!

Happy stamping!
