Distress Background
I wanted to try the Distress Ink background I saw recently on Jennifer McGuire's website and someone else mentioned the technique.
So... you ink up the paper by putting the ink pad directly to the paper. I used two of the Distress Ink mini pads (Abandoned Coral & Candied Apples) and it blended together fairly nice.
What is hard to see is that I put the Hero Arts stencil Swirl over the ink and sprayed over it with gold Perfect Pearls. Then you blot the water off a little with paper towels. It should lighten up and show the stencil pattern. It didn't show up as much as I would have liked nor did it photograph very well but it is there.
The greeting is cut out of the fantastic American Crafts glitter paper with a Simon Says Stamp die called Painted Happy Birthday (SSSD111559). I like that the sentiment is a little bigger than some.
