Welcome to Valley Oak Paper
I design handmade greeting cards.
Distress Embossing Glaze Swatches
I was a bit disappointed to find out that Ranger doesn’t have any round labels for the older Distress colors. So I made some.
Distress Watercolor Pencils 1
When I got the new Distress Watercolor Pencils, I took them all out of their boxes and rearranged them according to the order on the Ranger web site. In this video I’m swatching the first box, from Spun Sugar to Fired Brick.
Swatching Glimmer Hot Foils
The Satin Gold Glimmer Foil is from the Satin Metallics Variety Pack. Then we have Polished Brass (Essential Metallics) and just plain Gold (Holiday). The plain gold came with my Glimmer machine.
Swatching Distress Oxide Inks
I just got the last two ink pads I was missing from the Distress Oxide palette: Rustic Wilderness and Crackling Campfire. Distress Oxides are easily the ink pads I reach for most of the time. So getting the complete 72-pad collection was really worth it for me.
