Credit Card Swipe Technique with Distress Oxides

Hello! In my craft group, we were challenge to use the Credit Card Swipe Technique to make some backgrounds and then make a card to swap.  

I used three colors of Distress Oxide ink for my background - Squeezed Lemonade, Faded Jeans and Cracked Pistachio.  I smooshed them onto the craft sheet, then spritzed with a touch of water.  You try to scrape up some of the color onto an old credit card and then swipe it over the paper again and again.  I used regular cardstock.  



I do wish I got some wider areas of color, but this one turned out well enough, especially after you stamp a silhouette stamp over it.  This stamp is all in one, although it looks like it could be several stamps.  

Supplies: Just for Fun Rubber Stamps Sea Turtle Seascape, Technique Tuesday Outdoors Planner Stamp set (sentiment), Distress Oxide Black Soot (for Stamping) Squeezed Lemonade, Faded Jeans and Cracked Pistachio (for background), Avery Elle tag die from Wonky Stitched Rectangles set, other items from my stash.

I’d love to enter these challenge:

Have a great day!
