Hi friends!
There’s a NEW Distress product release from Tim Holtz! The new Distress Spritz sprays make their entry with 12 colors you know and love that add shine to your projects. I’ll go into details below on how it works with different cardstocks and over the top of inks! From what I gather from playing with them, they are different from Distress Mica Stains in that they do not really saturate your project with color, but more so with pearl shimmer that has been matched with Distress colors. The sprays of these bottles are special because they “spritz” for a splatter effect.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARD:
Card size: A2 (4.25″ x 5.5″)
Products used:
- Distress Spritz over WHITE cardstock (Distress Oxide ink underneath)
- Colors of both Distress Oxide and Distress Spritz used: Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet
- Simon Says Stamp Bubble Burst Plate
- Simon Says Stamp Happy Birthday
This card is the brightest and most saturated in color – because there is color beneath the sprayed surface. I ink-blended coordinating colors first, then used the Distress Spritz in coordinating colors over the top of the ink-blended surface. The Spritz doesn’t really add color, but pearl shine and the shimmer is beautiful against the light. The photos really don’t do it justice!
JUST BECAUSE CARD:
Card size: A2 (4.25″ x 5.5″)
Products used:
- Distress Spritz over WHITE cardstock (no ink underneath; Spritz only)
Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet - Simon Says Stamp Bubble Burst Plate
- Simon Says Stamp Just Because
On this card, the SAME Distress Spritz colors are used as above – but as you can see, the look is drastically different. I can’t explain why the yellow and greens present as brown, but I’m sure Tim Holtz will explain the properties in his YouTube live. The chemistry between the yellow and green causes a brown look. However, when tilted in the light, you can definitely see the individual colors more clearly. Again, the photos do not do the colors/shimmer justice!
JUST A NOTE CARD:
Card size: A2 (4.25″ x 5.5″)
Products used:
- Distress Spritz over WHITE cardstock (over black cardstock, no color underneath)
Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet - Simon Says Stamp Bubble Burst Plate
- Simon Says Stamp Just a Note 2
Here’s a THIRD card using the exact same Spritz colors. This time, over black cardstock. I didn’t blend color underneath first – so you can see the texture of the organic spray. Over the black cardstock, you can see the pearl colors more clearly and the green (Twisted Citron) shows up a lot better. Isn’t it cool how different cardstocks and mediums (under the spray) will yield different looks?
I hope you enjoyed these projects! Be sure to check out the new Distress Spritz line, available now at Simon Says Stamp! Have a nice day!
