a little distress oxide tag play...

Distress Oxides are certainly nothing new. When they originally came out I jumped right on them like everyone else did. What I didn't do was learn to use them correctly. I was great at making tags that morphed into blobs of muddy hues but couldn't make anything that even remotely resembled the gorgeous, colorfully water-spotted pieces of paper that I saw others creating.

Until I met Ness.

Ness is a master with the oxides and she took the time to sit and show me step-by-step how she was getting 'the look' I was so desperately wanting to see.

The lesson that afternoon opened up a Pandora's box of fun! I think of these oxide tags just like Lay's potato chips- no one can make just one!!

Over-stamped with a favorite large format stamp, all this tag needed was a fluffy bow to complete it.

Thank you Ness!
