Hi there! Today I have a project to share using several Distress Oxide inks to create this colorful geometric background.
I smooshed several Oxide inks onto watercolor cardstock that had been die cut using the Basic Square dies. Then I arranged the squares and popped them up with foam tape.
I added two vellum butterflies using the Paulina butterfly die and an embossed sentiment from the Hello Beautiful set. I embossed it in white on a strip of Soft Navy cardstock. To finish it off I added some Sparkling Clear Crystals.
I also have two winners to announce from my giveaway to the next Creative Watercolor Media class.
Congratulations
Vicky Blackwell & Kristie Maynard!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

January 28, 2023 at 2:31 pmHeya this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with
experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
