 I love playing with our new oxide inks creating backgrounds, , inking stencils, spritzing with water to activate it for added texture and so much more. I cannot wait to see what others have done.

So this is my most recent card resulting from playing with Ink Oxides.

 I saw the "Diagonal Stripe Slimline Thin Cuts" used with Ink Oxides, so decided that would be such a quick and easy card and was convinced to purchase the thin cut! I love rainbows and butterflies.  Here's the fun I've had playing with the Oxide Inks.
