Well......I wondered if I needed them and when DH said he would 'treat' me.....Of course I needed them...all I can say is that I LOVE the new Oxide Inks and 'yes' I did need them.
My first play (which you will see later in the week) was a little cautious and I only used 2 colours,but this time my background used Cracked Pistachio, Wilted Violet, Broken China and Vintage Photo with lots of water and drying between all the layers. I also used Iced Spruce DI with the Flourish stencil.
I don't have the Paper Dolls, so after a little search, I found this image on the internet and fell in love with her expression and thought these quotes seemed just right
DH has realised he shouldn't have been so generous - he thinks he will see even less of me - but maybe that's a good thing!!
Well that's all for now, I need more practice with these inks!
