The die-cut is Cottage Cutz Deer Snowflake Scene, sentiment stamp from Newton's Nook, and embossing folder is Die'sire Embossalicious Let it Snow.
The Distress Oxide background was made some time ago, so I don't recall the specific colours used, but it was a mixture of blues and greens on photo paper. I layered each colour using the watercolour ink-smooshing technique and dried in between each colour. It's best to work from lightest colour to darkest. When finished, it had a dull appearance but when wiped with a baby wipe, it became vibrant like you see here. I was inspired to try this technique after watching this video here.
