Because Distress Oxide inks react with water, I wondered whether I could use water—or even a baby wipe—to stamp designs into an inked background. I had seen both techniques used to create different effects, so I decided to give them a try. It was interesting to compare the two results and see how something as simple as moisture can affect Distress Oxides.

My go-to printer brand for years has been HP. I also use their ink supply service where I pay a monthly fee and they send me ink cartridges as needed. It comes out to be a lot less money this way and I don’t have to keep track because they do all the tracking for me. The HP Envy Inspire is a great-priced machine that will produce beautiful prints.
If you are looking for a great crafting-weight paper for printables, I have a new favorite. It is double sided matte photo paper by Koala. It is heavier than copier paper but not quite as heavy as cardstock. It is a great medium weight for layering, folding, and more! They have different weights, I have been using the 48lb double sided photo paper for printables. It is available on Amazon.
New party up this week to share your creativity with Create-it Link Party.
I love seeing these paper pumpkins each year and the variations that arrive. Last Week My French Twist shared these pretty pumpkins as her seasonal decor.
