Autumn Distress Oxide Blending Combos (with completed cards)

[@kwernerdesign]

NOTE: The first color combination uses Scattered Straw, not Antique Linen. Although, that color would work nicely with this combination, too. :)

[@debbiel890]

yes I noticed but thought haha its a trick to see if we noticed xxx

[@theculinaryquilter]

I enjoyed watching the color blends and was watching watercolor blends with analogous colors. Now my blends looks much better.

[@heidirees9647]

Love the “You Matter” colors! Great technique and amazing colors! Very autumn!

[@Favorites2012mine]

Yes! I would love more videos that showcase different color blends for different seasons, or holidays. I have pinned your distress oxide blends and use them is my card making. I love the simplicity of these cards. The colors sing and really make a statement.

[@deannaberman908]

I absolutely LOVE all you blending combo videos!!! I hope you do provide blending combos for holiday cards....I create cards for literally every holiday and for all special occasions! The blending combos are a quick and easy way to create a beautiful card without spending several hours on one card....which is really easy to do!

[@DesignsbyKellie]

Love love love the under tone color of mustard seed, ripe persimmon and walnut stain with the leave stencil. That is my favorite but love them all.

[@elainebrydon5236]

All the Autumn colors are gorgeous! And the leaf patterns are so pretty. My fav time of year!!!!

[@brendajennings5438]

They're all beautiful Kristina! I guess You Matter & Sending smiles are my favorites just because I love fall leaves! TFS!

[@maremagoo8140]

Excellent to see seasonal & holiday blends! YES! PLEASE!!

[@marinazanotta]

My favorite is "You matter", with leaves. Beautiful and warms colors :)

[@DebadooCreates]

I am absolutely a purple girl so I was thrilled to see the seedless preserves come out. But as much as I would like to say that's my favorite it really is a toss-up between the you matter and the best day ever. I love them both equally and all the cards are really great!

[@jeang5451]

I’d love to see a blending series. I also like your favorite but they are all beautiful! Thank you again for sharing your talent with us.

[@112seedsoflight]

Yes, please, I LOVE the blending videos and have learned so much from you by watching them. I loved all the cards, but My fav was the same as yours - the round one with Sending smiles. Thank you Kristina!

[@marblegal7372]

Can’t pick a favor because anything Fall is right up my alley. Great cards and enjoyed watching you ink blended. Yes, more color combos, Kristina!

[@karrielasater]

I love all the blends, it is hard to pick a favorite. I really like your blends videos, they are so helpful, please continue to do them for holidays and seasons! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent!

[@vickielightsey5134]

These are beautiful and so helpful as I struggle with knowing what color combos work together. My fav is the “You Matter” card. The blending series is perfect for us non artists. Thanks Kristina. Blessings

[@lindaokeefe5505]

I love the YOU MATTER color blends for Autumn best. You make blending look so easy!

[@teresabetancourt4734]

I love your distress oxide blends. You are so gifted, and do colors as no one ☝️ You got me to buy ALL of the Distress Oxide, and NOT to regret the purchases. Too many times, I buy crafting materials because of YT, and waste my money because of it been just an impulse buy. This has not been the case with the Distress; please, keep up the use of them with your awesome blending! Thank you so very much!!!

[@cassandras1688]

They’re all beautiful but my fave is the you matter because the leaf pattern is gorgeous

[@carolynholman8620]

I’m just now seeing this video for the first time. I absolutely love stencil designs. Your stencil cards are stunning. Thanks for sharing your creative works of art!

[@longlivedemocracy756]

Great cards, great inspiration, Kristina! I just spent a week at the shore and came home with 50 stenciled designs. Now to turn them all into cards! 😆 TFS!

[@stefperry4142]

Yes, yes yes! Blends for holidays please! Love your chosen blends today, and the fabulous CAS cards to let those colors and stenciled images shine. For a favorite, I'm really torn between the last two, but all are spectacular! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful inspiration!

[@debbiewilliams155]

These are all beautiful but I think my favorite is the 3rd one. The leaves. But I like them all very much. Thanks for showing us this blending of colors.

[@lootseepanganiban-lustan278]

They all look good but my fave was the floating leaves stencil blend. Next is the 1st one you did. 3rd is the stripes & last is the bubble wrap. That’s just my ranking but they’re all good but of course in varying degrees. Thanks Kristina for giving us brilliant ideas for autumn blending using the different stencils. Gives us a different perspective. Way cool 😎

[@melissamcneil59]

My favorite is the card using the falling leaves stencil. Love that one.

[@bridgettwonder5386]

I love the blends. Thank you so much. My favorite was the You Matter card with the leaves!

[@cordeliaalderman391]

I love to watch different color combos. I find ink blending very therapeutic.

[@babbsd7235]

I love learning blending techniques and colors that blend together. Please keep it up. Thanks.

[@vivianarendt7989]

Love these blends... makes me want to grab a cup of apple cider with a cinnamon stick... a fluffy throw and a good book!!

[@heartieone3]

I like all four of your cards so it’s hard to choose favorites. I believe I’d categorize them this way: ‘you matter’ & the ‘best day ever’ would be 1a & the outside two cards would be 1b.😀 I have learned a lot seeing which colors you choose to blend & then demonstrate how to blend them together for us. Because of that I can see the results of the blending before I even buy any products! So thank you, Kristin, for all your hard work in getting these wonderful videos out there for us to enjoy & to learn from.

[@jwalker7890]

Can't decide, love them all! More color blending videos, PLEASE!

[@jillmackellar9562]

Thanks so much for this. So good to see it in real time. Your colour choices are beautiful.
Please do a series for every season/holiday, all the way to summer.

[@yvonneboucher9306]

Thank you Kristina for this wonderful tutorial! I love the all four cards. I love the circle because of the leaves, buy I have to say I am very attracted to the stripes....love the colors you achieved. Very inspiring tutorial! thank you!!!

[@lisaheld439]

They are all so beautiful! Your blending videos are the greatest. I use your combos so often. Please keep them up. You’re the greatest!!!

[@deborahthompson2094]

It's hard to pick just one because they are all so beautiful. I love fall and the colors of fall time. The sending smiles card is gorgeous... and I love the brown card base that compliments the round blended piece!

[@helensheppard8435]

I love them all but I think the striped one has a slight edge for me. They are all stunning.

[@DonnaJo3452]

I love your blends, Kristina. I've used them for inspiration on ATCs several times. I would love to see blends for different holidays! Thanks, Donna

[@lynnlohne6578]

I think the contrast on Sending Smiles is terrific. All of the blends are beautiful. You used each one differently which shows you have so many options with a blended background. Favorite blend is the You Matter, so autumnal! Best Day Ever is nice but I am going to swap out the blue for purple (my favorite color). Who doesn't love a heart? TFS

[@leorahenkin774]

Oh yes, I love the idea of a series! And the striped card is my favorite!!!

[@ryantaylor7283]

I like the fossilized amber, crackling campfire, faded jeans blend best. All the cards turned out so well!!

[@lindaheithold1613]

I love your blends so the more the better. These cards are all great but I think the first is my fav.

[@tiffanyhalsell7410]

So so gorgeous! I can't choose between the first three! I think the leaf one that says you matter is my fav!

[@lauracarrasco3196]

Sending smiles is my favorite. You always make such beautiful creations!

[@joanngirimonte9349]

Kristina they are absolutely gorgeous, but my favorite is the falling leaves 💕

[@debrabartz3188]

I liked them all.. the brown really added a nice, rich warmth

[@DD-yt6en]

Love all of the cards, my favorite I think is the simple You Matter one..TFS

[@amybeth928]

Love the autumn rainbow and the heart one!!

[@mrsdarcy290]

I really enjoyed your tutorial. I think my favorite is the rainbow stripes, but they’re all marvelous. I like your idea of revisiting this process for other holidays. ❤️Thanks, Kristina!

[@pennyklie7530]

Thanks for slowing down the video to real time... so helpful. My favorite is the piece using the Floating Leaves stencil.

[@katyglenn9271]

These are lovely. They really make you feel the Fall season. My favorite is the leaves! Thanks for sharing and I love these blending colors videos. They really help with making cards. Stay Sate and Healthy!

[@lilawetzel8213]

WOW, I love all 4 cards. I think the 5 x 7 card is my favorite. Thanks for sharing.

[@rufus1931]

love all your blending combos! Keep 'em coming please! Love that you keep em simple with some really cool word dies.

[@debbiel890]

loved the stripes and the last overlay leaves the best but all 4 are beautiful - thank you once more

[@lindas7087]

So simple and so lovely. I have most of the oxides - thanks for the push on using them! My favorite is the circle card, with the circle placed to the side and partially cut off. Will be borrowing this idea for other cards. Thank you!

[@lizthayer7705]

I love the idea of this series! Please keep it going. You are a genius & I'm soaking up all of your creative goodness, so, yes, please! And my fave is by far the leaves. Thanks for sharing!

[@carlenejake]

They all turned out beautiful. My fave is the stripes, great stencil. TFS

[@heikesantiago6607]

I like the You Matter card best; the leaf stencil, especially using those colors, is gorgeous. Thanks 😊

[@traceydietrich7376]

Love them all! To pick only one is difficult-however, the You Matter one is probably my favorite....I love the blend and love the stencil❤️ You are simply amazing!

[@katkorn5499]

I have to agree with you that the 3rd design you did with the leaves is my favorite

[@kayleenschmit3842]

Love them all but my favorite is the sending smiles one.

[@maestra730]

the YOU MATTER card stands out to me! Love it!

[@patmccleary2495]

I love the stripes. But really, they're all so pretty.

[@kykategray]

I love all of the blends, the leafy one is my favorite. I also like the simple way you made them into cards. I would love to see you do these type of ink blending videos for each holiday/special occasion/season. Thankfully, I am not ink blending challenged, but I am “turn them into a card” challenged! So, I especially appreciate that you showed how you turned each of the stencil blended backgrounds into a finished piece.

[@cheri6905]

Love all these cards, Kristina! So very pretty!

[@reneecassidy7279]

Yes, please do a series of seasonal blends. I am just getting into the distress oxides and find them very easy to blend!

[@pamphillips9428]

Thank you for showing the full blending process. I am new to distress oxide inks but am loving how they blend together. I think you should definitely do a series of seasonal colors. That would be so helpful. Also a chart to go along with each one. You are so talented and your designs are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

[@serviziolaboratorio7710]

I totally agree about this idea of a "seasonal series"!

[@dorasanchez5075]

Yes I also agree. It would be great. I try to do a light blend but didn't work out. I think I have a heavy hand when it comes to blend.

[@bevodaniel3384]

Beautiful blends and cards. I like the floating leaves. When I use stencils, I spritz the stencil with water and take a mono print. This gives you the negative space design.

[@lindahesnively]

All are so beautiful K Werner. My favorite is the circle one. Thanks for sharing.

[@terrydeason1689]

I think I like Sending Smiles the best but they are all beautiful. I love seeing the different combinations and how they turn out.

[@bethjackson8727]

Hello from Canada. This reminds me of our beautiful fall colours. Warm and rich. Even though the heart isn’t really autumn colours the warmth and richness is still there. It’s almost noon here so guess what I’m going to do this afternoon. Thanks so much.

[@ginapaloukis6982]

Simply stunning!! I honestly can't choose. I love them all!! 🍁🍁🍁🍂🍂🍂

[@dawnmcauley6924]

I love ink blended backgrounds and really like all of your designs. My favourite is ‘Sending Smiles’ as the black cardstock really showcases the ink blended circle.

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Love them all Kristina!!! Thanks so much for sharing! Stay well, blessings!!!

[@dorasanchez5075]

Thank you Kristina. I like sending smiles.

[@LizBgood]

I must ay the falling leaves is a really cool look but to be honest I love the basic stripes card. I love the simplicity of it. I keep a book of all your blending mixes so I will add this one to it now. Thanks a million, you are truly the Blending Queen!

[@barbaracilley8200]

I am watching for the 3rd time. I just love all of these. I bought some materials and can’t wait to start. Simon shipped my order today. Yahoo

[@verblu8507]

My fav is the "You Matter" card! That leaf background and the colors are just beautiful! Thanks for a wonderful tutorial! God bless!!!!

[@christisteger1242]

All of the cards are beautiful. Like the horizontal strip the best

[@sharonbenthall5210]

Thanks so very much for demonstrating blending in "real time"!!

[@DesignsbyShell]

Very nice! I really like the ‘sending smiles’ blend but really they all turned out great! Tfs! 💕🙂

[@carmennamenek5400]

Great cards so simple but stunning. I think my favorite blend is the you matter card with the leaf stencil. But love them all.

[@andrealavigne7824]

I like the heart blend the best. Just something about those colors. I never would have thought to use them together, but it came out so pretty! The others are great, too, of course. Thank you for showing it in real time, & for the tips. I would also like to see a seasonal blending series. I think especially for winter/Christmas/holiday cards--some alternatives besides red and green would be great. Anyway, thank you for sharing these. Take care, & have a fabulous day! :)

[@caroldubois6183]

Very nice. Thank you and yes, please continue with this series.

[@sallycain3716]

The last one was my favourite. Crushed Olive, Chipped Sapphire and Seedless Preserves.

[@elizabethjones2088]

I love the floating leaves 🍁 one , love this colour combination
Love from Scotland uk

[@brendacasper9266]

Love the blends Kristina! Such pretty cards. TFS!!😍

[@georgannsmith1827]

I like the You Matter card best, too. Love those autumn colors! YES! Please do some Halloween blending cards!

[@patlynn5015]

Kristina......agree Floating Leaves is my favorite too....

[@j9rabbit]

I love all the blends but the leaves is my favorite.

[@jejohnsonful]

I love them all. It is hard to choose which one I like the best. Using colors for Christmas cards would be fantastic.

[@1156Treecat]

These are awesome cards Kristina. Love the color blends!!

[@dianaking9495]

Sending smiles is my favorite but they are all gorgeous, Kristina. Your voice and calm way of demonstrating bring me peace as I try to wind down my day. You are better than a movie star ANY DAY💜. Thank you for all you do🥰

[@pennyrau6615]

To difficult a task to pick just one! They are all beautiful!

[@marylehett1127]

Kristina, I couldn’t possibly choose a favorite color combination. They are all beautiful. Please continue this ink blending theme as a series. I have to try Thr light color blend before the stencil blend. Thank you.

[@shazinoz]

Love them all but design wise the sending smiles .. beautiful work!!

[@vlawton100]

the seasonal colors series sounds awesome to me I love your blends and thank you so much for sharing!

[@barbarabarnhart4783]

Hi kristina ... I loved the leaves and stripes .. especially the leaves because it's that time of year! Thank you for giving me so much inspiration ... Barbara

[@wyntermackenzie4952]

Thanks for asking, Kristina! I love the colors and the leaf shapes of the stencil on the "you matter" card best, but I think the "sending smiles" card is the most striking, especially with the black. The "Happy Birthday" card is an attention-getter. I liked the stripe stencil very much, but the card would not be a choice for me. I think the small letters of the sentiment & the stripes end up looking too busy. The metallic paper for the sentiments was an inspired choice!
Along with many other commenters, I would eagerly welcome a set of blends for both seasons & holidays. For Christmas, light blue & silver, blue & gold, purple, green & a light gold or champagne, pink & rose gold, like that. I would be very interested to see what DI inks you would choose to stand in for the metallics that I love. Can't wait!

[@sylaniaoliver6451]

Love these cards, your helping me with my blending. My favorite is the circle. Thank You!

[@vickimiles9213]

Oh my, pick a favorite? Only because I love the fall colors would I go with the leaves as a favorite but love them all! As always you give me such inspiration!
