Hello, all! So sorry for the delay in today's video! I'd hoped to get this up yesterday, but time got away from me. :) Anyhow, in today's card video, I played with Distress Oxide inks again--this time with water!
Use the hashtag #KristinasOxideCombos on Instagram! I'd love to see what you create with these color combinations. :)

[@suzimetcalfe8423]

Those silver bits are beautiful! I especially like the vellum with the coloring behind. I want to try it all! Thanks for the inspiration. Pinning this one!

[@catherinerhoades7081]

A rose gold embossing powder would also be stunning with this color combo 😍

[@terrie1226]

This card is beautiful and the technique awesome...the silver embossing powder made the card so elegant....well done Kristina and tfs

[@KonaSitkaRose]

Wow, absolutely fabulous, including the color combination!

[@carolestrawn8755]

This card is just stunning. I love this series. I have a collection of the Distress Oxides and I don't use them nearly enough. Such a beautiful elegant card.

[@annarodgers3385]

Breathtaking!

[@craftylemur]

Beautiful card Kristina. 💕

Stunning!! I always look forward to all of your videos!

[@PisforPaper]

So pretty, love the color combo!

[@judithsigler9644]

GORGEOUS DESIGN, Kristina! I LOVE IT!!! I think the HELLO embossed in silver on the vellum is AWESOME along with the Copic coloring! I so appreciate your using the “blending combos” colors to do the Watercolor smoosh for a card! This “twosome” of videos just brings it all together for me! Thank you, thank you, for sharing this fun technique and BEAUTIFUL card design! HAPPY STAMPIN’ n’ CREATIN’! :-))

[@kaceeboxers3580]

Turned out beautiful!

[@traceycosta9196]

This card is super stunning💕

[@reneecassidy7279]

That card is so lovely!

[@jessicahaines5986]

I love this distress oxide series. First love the color combination suggestions. Looking forward to more. I bought more colors I didn’t have so I could do the combinations I loved. And love seeing you use them in ways other than blending. Beautiful card and great inspiration.

[@dotalinadavis7557]

I love your series on oxide inks. We all have played with them a bit but don’t know if we’ve made or created good stuff yet! When you use it to make a card like this one the oxides come to life. If you can keep coming up with ideas for these I am one to say I sure appreciate them! This card is gorgeous. I especially like how you did the hello on vellum. That really set the card off! I think a lot of us love the watercoloring but don’t always do too well with it. Oxide and distress inks help us meet in the middle somewhere which make us feel like we’re doing something artsy!!!

[@pennyklie7530]

Beautiful... just love the colors with the silver embossing powder. The addition of the sentiment on vellum was perfect!

[@savvyhoov]

SO pretty!

[@YelidaHierroArt]

So adorable!

[@deniseward6207]

Really lovely card! I think the "Hello" stamps (interior and exterior) are fantastic! I appreciate the tip about coloring from the backside, too.

Yes, love the color combo as well. I think i could eat the seedless preserves!! Must admit to not liking the smooshing technique result (at first) but when combined with the velum and silver embossing ink, SPLENDIFEROUS!! Thanks for the Copic coloring technique.
