Heidi shared HERE, how she used the new Distress Oxide's to stamp on colored cardstock, and I just thought the results was so neat that I had to give it a try myself. I used Walnut stain on kraft with this card, my hubby even loved the results. Since the image was so dark I tried to go a bit lighter with my papers.
Here is a closeup of the stamping. Inked up the stamp and then sprayed with water and then stamped. I let the stamp sit on the cardstock for a little longer than I normally do to make sure I got a good stamp.
Inkadinado -- Fall trees Silhouette stamp
Spellbinders -- Lg. Deckled Rectangles and A2 matting basics A dies
Distress Oxide - Walntu stain ink
g.c.d, - Funhouse papers
Words to the rescue -- Get well sentiment stamp
Martha Stewart -- border punch
Thanks so very much for all your sweet comments and sharing your thoughts, I really do appreciate you taking the time out to stop by,

I've heard about the Distress Oxide inks, but don't know anything about them. I do know, however, that I love the effect on your card! You are a kind soul to always be thinking of others. I hope your friend's husband's recovery is thorough, even if it is a long time coming.
a beautiful card for a special man. i like the wording you use, instead of the traditional "get well soon"!!!
You have achieved a look that appears like it was hand painted and took hours to do......such a heart warming card for someone ill.
Love the trees!
The effect on the trees is wonderful. It would really be great to use when doing steampunk things. Super cute!
I saw the card you gave to Linda, and it is so beautiful! Love the embossing on the front, and the faux quilting technique, it is definitely card art :) I haven't made cards for a while, although I have plenty of things to make them with. Maybe looking at your amazing cards will inspire me!
A super male card Connie, with a perfect sentiment for you friend's husband. I'm sure he was cheered to receive it.
I really like the tree silhouettes! A very thoughtful & encouraging card for your friend.
Wow, Connie, your technique from Heidi turned out so well. I really, really like the trees and just how well the technique turned out. I hope your friend's husband recoveries quickly. He will certainly appreciate this beauty.
This is a great card for a sick male friend. I hope he recovers soon, Connie.
What a wonderful card for your husband's friend.
I do hope his recovery goes well.
All the best Jan
What a lovely masculine card! (can those two words be used in the same sentence if it's masculine?) Your friend is blessed to have you as a friend. <3
