Here is my project-

First off, I have to say that I love Distress Oxide inks. But when the Squeezed Lemonade came out, I HAD to make yellow flowers with it. The trick with layering the DO inks is to let them thoroughly dry between layers. Here is the materials list for this card:

1. Stamps & Dies: Painted Greetings, Painted Flowers (Altenew).
2. Inks: flowers (Squeezed Lemonade, Gathered Twigs, Distress Oxides-Memento Rich Cocoa), leaves (Sage, Bamboo Versacolor-Forest Moss Distress Oxide), sentiment (Memento Rich Cocoa)
3. Paper: white cs, yellow chevron (unknown).
