Fun Techniques

• Background Spritzing: Spray Distress Spray Stains or Oxide Sprays directly onto your surface to create colourful and textured backgrounds for cards, art journals, and mixed media projects.
• Layering: Layer different colours of Distress Spray Stains or Oxide Sprays to create depth and dimension in your artwork. Allow each layer to dry before adding the next layer to prevent smudging and mixing of colours.
• Stenciling: Use Distress Spray Stains or Oxide Sprays with stencils to add fun, random designs and patterns to your projects.
• Splatter Technique: Dip a splatter brush into Distress Spray Stains or Oxide Sprays, then tap the brush against your finger to create splatters of colour on your project for a playful and artistic look.
• Masking: Use masks or masking tape to cover areas of your project before spraying with Distress Spray Stains or Oxide Sprays. Remove the masks once the spray is dry to reveal the untouched areas underneath.
• Distress Resist Technique: Spray a layer of Distress Spray Stains or Oxide Sprays over a heat-embossed or stamped image. Once dry, use a damp cloth or baby wipe to gently wipe away the spray from the embossed or stamped areas, revealing the underlying design.
• Ombre Effects: Create ombre effects by spraying Distress Spray Stains or Oxide Sprays onto your surface in graduated shades, starting with one colour at the top or bottom and gradually transitioning to another colour.
• Alcohol Ink Techniques: Use Distress Spray Stains on non-porous surfaces like glossy cardstock or Yupo paper for alcohol ink-like effects.
