Hello and Welcome.
Here is a simple, one-layer card I made using my Distress Oxide inks.
I love playing with them and combining colours to see what kind of look I can come up with.
So here's what I did to create my card.
I began by masking off my card front using some Post-It tape to help create a framed look.
I sponged on some Faded Jeans, Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks, blending them as I went along.
I sprinkled on some water to help lift some of the ink and give more interest to my background.
I also lifted some of the colour by using a piece of drywall tape rubbed over with a wet paper towel.
I removed the tape I had used to mask from the sides, then placed the piece inside my Misti to stamp the flowers.
I stamped the sentiment from Penny Black and done.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Another fantastic sentiment, Karen! Love your wildflowers on this beautiful DOX background!
Oh my, Karen..Your one layer card is so beautiful with your blended DOX inks, stamping and masking. Loved your added water splashes and dry wall tape color lifting for added texture. I am off to check out your awesome PB sentiment. TFS my friend. Hugs...
This is gorgeous Karen in your fabulous mix of blues and I love the wildflower stamps which look wonderful over the top, and a great sentiment too. x
So VERY lovely and love the sentiment.

Awesome and so pretty with the blue background.
beautiful, I love your silhouette flowers with your layered stamping :)
Lovely blend of background colours! Perfect for the silhouette stamps (love the way one of them comes outside the masked panel).
Gorgeous one layer card Karen. Love the combination of the three shades of blue ink --- beautiful! The splatters of water really add a lot of interest ... and of course, that gorgeous thistle image!! xx
Oh how gorgeous Karen - love that the flowers extend past the blue border.
