Good Morning.
I tried something different when I was playing around with my Distress Oxides and that is how I came up with this muted background.
I wanted a softer looking bkg for these beautiful Rubbernecker flowers. There was a piece of white tissue paper sitting on my desk, so I flattened it a bit and rubbed my Distress Oxide ink pads directly onto the tissue paper. Next, I laid that tissue paper, inked side down, onto my card front and sprayed with water to transfer the ink. I just left it for a few minutes and removed to reveal this great blend of colours all ready to be stamped onto.
This stamp set is a 4 part flower so my Misti came in very handy. I stamped the stems first by colouring them with my Tombow markers, sprayed with water and stamped. I went on to do the flower heads and all the details in the same way.
Stamped the sentiment using my Misti too.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
