This is so basic and easy to learn! I’ve struggled for YEARS to make a decent looking background. This concept is so easy to grasp! Thank you so much for this video💜💜
Nice!! Love all Distress ink/oxide related videos! More Distress videos please! My fav backgrounds and die cuts are made from some variation of Distress techniques 🌈💕
Wow, I'm new to your content, but what a lovely video! Question; how do the blendtool pads stick to the bottom of your inks? That's so very convenient ✅
Just love this ❤Just found you! Thank you for the wonderful video , which is so informative and helpful. By the way, are you using mini size distress inks or regular size ones? I am not sure which one I should get as a beginner. Thank you 🙏
I would start off with the minis. I like the minis because they’re easy to store. If you end up, loving them, you can always get bigger ones. Also, you can sometimes find technique boxes that Ranger does at Michael’s. There is a distress box one that has several minis in it along with step-by-step tutorial on how to use it. Use your weekly coupon for 40% off of one item and it ends up being a good deal.
hello. Love the video. it was really nice colors and calming as well. Where did you purchase the dryer or is it called a different name.. also if you don't have such too to dry could you use a hair dryer on cool setting or warm.. thank you.
That’s a great question! A hairdryer has a heavier air flow that is not as hot as this and is loud. I would not interchange the two 🙂 rangerink.com/products/ranger-heat-it-craft-tool
Betz, I love your tutorials. But, I have tried the distress inks and I am not getting it. I blend it and at first it comes on too dark, then quickly turns too light. I tried putting less on the blending tool but doesn't work for me. Help! any ideas much appreciated. Thanks.
I feel your pain! If you have any water or moisture on your substrate or add to it makes it lighter by turning it kind of chalky. You can use Microglaze on it to bring back the vibrancy. I sometimes don’t add water because it does make it lighter and I don’t always want that chalky finish.
Are you applying the ink directly to the paper? Try picking your the ink either a blending tool and then applying to your paper. Start off the page and blend in
It usually happens when you mix complementary colors together like red/green, blue/orange, yellow/purple, etc. The result ends up a muddy brown. I guess you could also say this can happen if you mix cool colors with warm colors as a rule. It helps to use a color wheel when coloring.

You are so soothing to listen too and I loved your tips on Distress ink backgrounds. 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
I just LOVE oxide inks! TFS!
Just loved this! Just found you. I have trouble with mud so stayed away from blending anything.
I had the same problem with making mud until I bought a colour wheel, it's a very handy tool to have 🙂💚
Love…love…love the explaination
Just found you. Love this!,

They actually fit like a glove! I just stick them on the underside and they hold. I do Velcro side up
@@Betsiemorris ohhh, thank you for your reply! New subscriber here, I've just bought my first mini distress pad and blender tool👍🏼
Thank you for sharing

Im very new to these inks... But im getting lines.... How are you not getting lines

what do you mean by getting mud?
Often times when you combine color it can look like mud. Not the pretty brown when you want to do a distress, but a muddy color.
It usually happens when you mix complementary colors together like red/green, blue/orange, yellow/purple, etc. The result ends up a muddy brown. I guess you could also say this can happen if you mix cool colors with warm colors as a rule. It helps to use a color wheel when coloring.
Why did they confuse you??????
