Today I'm sharing a bright and cheery card I created using distress oxide ink. I had fun experimenting with the colors and trying a crinkled background technique.
Side Note: I wanted to put a plug in for my favorite Etsy store.

I've been ordering from them for quite a while now,

I purchased both of the stamps used on this card there.

To create the background for this card I:
- dabbed some Worn Lipstick and Wild Honey Distress Oxide on my desk
- spritzed the ink with water
- swiped a piece of white card stock through the ink
- heat set and repeated till I got the colors how I liked them
- on the last swipe (BEFORE I heat set) I balled the paper up in a tight ball to create wrinkles and texture
- unfold and heat set
- use a brayer to flatten the paper out a bit before adhering it to your cardfront

Inks: Worn Lipstick/Wild Honey Distress Oxide, Versamark Watermark, Midnight Black Embossing Powder

Lovely card and possibly without realising you also have layers and lemon on there. I like the way you created your crinkled background.
Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel for this challenge. Hugs Mrs A.
Such a pretty background and neat technique, your flowers look great against it and love the butterfly border inside!
What a fun background, I haven't done this one in a really long time so I think maybe you have inspired me. Very pretty card.
Great use of the distress oxide inks. Thanks for joining us this week at Word Art Wednesday.
Gorgeous background - it makes me want to play now too! Congratulations on making Top 3 over at my heARTful stamping challenge this week. Please visit us again!
I like the way you used the stamp to let the beautiful background show though! Thank you for joining us at the Heartful Stamping Challenge!
