New Saltwater Taffy Distress Color

February 26, 2022

Hi there! It’s an exciting day! The new Distress color Saltwater Taffy just release by Tim Holtz. I LOVE this new color and used the distress ink it to blend the soft background on this project.

I also used the Saltwater Taffy reinker to flick some flicks on top of the blending. For the images I used the Privet Branch die with vellum and Layered Chickadee die & Reverse Get Well Sentiment Strip for the sentiment.
