If you’ve been following my artistic journey for awhile, you know I love squishing distress inks to make backgrounds. ❤️ So, I was in a mood and made a bunch of backgrounds with some Distress Oxides. I used different dies to create openings for the pretty to show through and then added a sentiment from my favorite sentiment die set made by Spellbinders. Once again, no stamping required. 😁

You can watch a process video by clicking the green button below. Have a wonderful day and thanks for hanging out with me! 😘 As usual, the supply list can be found below as well.

Also, if you visit a store and what you want is out of stock, be sure and ask to be notified by email when the item is back in stock. It’s usually quite quick and always worth the wait. 😉

Thanks for watching!

Remember, if mailing a card with layers and embellishments in the United States, be sure and buy “non-machinable” postage so your cards don’t get smooshed in the USPS postal machines.
