Hello and Happy Saturday! I am back with a fun background made with my new Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks. After my learning experience with these inks yesterday, I had an idea about what would probably work for me.
This background was made by smooshing the paper into the ink/water mix on my craft sheet, and drying. Then I used a large brush to pick up individual colors of inky water and tapped the brush so that large drops of the ink fell onto the paper. I do really like the this background so I just added a little bit of a sentiment and left it alone.
The matte look of the background is pretty cool. I really feel like these new inkpads give a look of paint, but with some dye added that allows for effects. So far, I am pretty happy with my purchase, although I don't have any place to store them yet!
Supplies: Distress Oxide inks Cracked Pistachio, Faded Jeans and Broken China, Verve Stamps Brighter Days, Versafine black ink, Hero Arts Soft Pool ink, Spellbinders Scalloped labels one.
I would love to participate in this challenge:

LOVE that background you have created Heidi! It's always difficult to know what to put on a card when you use such a lovely background as you don't want to detract from the beauty of it, but you have done well here in managing to keep the focus on it! Have a wonderful weekend! Luv n’ Hugs. Hazel xx
