Well Hello There, I do hope you are all staying well. I'm a huge fan of Distress Oxides like most crafty folk. The colour blends and combinations you can archive are amazing. A few months back the most talented Kristina Werner brought out a video all about the different combinations, she had come up with. I add the link here well worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ3Cah5esns I decided to make a swatch book of all the different combo's. Which I keep handy on my desk.

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team.
