Distressed Oxide Inks is #1 IMHO, for any kind of paper crafting you do!
I still consider myself an intermediate beginner in many various forms of paper crafting. I first invested in Tim Holtz line of Distress Oxide Inks in August 2019. I have yet to look back. These inks are a dream to work with yes, even for a beginner. You just have to be patient with learning how to achieve a smooth blend between colors. Since these inks are a hybrid ink there are so many different effects you can get with them. I love 💕 them.
