SSS-It’s Your Day

Hi there! Today I have a project to share using several Distress Oxide inks to create this colorful geometric background.SSS-Basic Squares, Paulina Butterfly, Hello BeautifulI 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.
SSS-Basic Squares, Paulina Butterfly, Hello BeautifulI 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.
SSS-Basic Squares, Paulina Butterfly, Hello BeautifulI 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!

    Awesome card, Laura! I love the mix of colors in all the blocks…I think your smooshing added so much dimension to your design! I’m loving the Oxide inks and used them on Bristol…went on smooth as ‘Buttah’ 🙂

    Oh my gosh, I just found this card on Pinterest and I am swooning! Love, love, love! I’ve just been making backgrounds for months because I can’t get enough of the oxides, but now I need to try my dies with them too. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Currently it looks like BlogEngine is the preferred blogging platform out there right now.
    (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using
    on your blog?

    Heya 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!
