Hi, Susan's here.
It is so hard for me to pick my favorite color combinations of distress oxides as the range is so vivid and wide. Also, I tend to chose colors based on the images I have colored from Craftin Desert Divas. However, I was able to narrow the choice down to Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry and Squeezed Lemonade as these colors are so cheerful and vibrant.
For my card, I used the dragon from Whimsical Wishes. Here is my card:
I used the ink smooshing technique to achieve the background of the card. I die cut the background with the largest die from Fancy Frames. Below I show you all the supplies I used. For watercolor paper I just used Ranger Watercolor paper and for the acetate for the ink smooshing I used a piece of the acetate from the stamp set packaging. I easily cleaned it up with a baby wipe when I was done.
First, I put down a square of each color and then lightly spritzed it with water. This gave me puddles of ink to work with. I dipped the acetate into the Squeezed Lemonade pool first and then added that to the card stock. I dried my card stock between applications of color to keep the colors from blending too much at first.
I repeated this process with the other two colors. I then added a second and third layer of color to the card stock and spritzed it with Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray. Remember to dry between layers.
Here is my card again:
