Playing with my distress oxide backgrounds from the Happy Mail challenge

The background in the card on the left was not made for the challenge. I just swiped some distress oxide inks that were out, direct to watercolor paper and spritzed with water. (Warm lipstick, spiced marmalade and fossilized amber) . I pressed those same colors of oxide ink on to a craft mat, spritzed with water and pressed more watercolor paper in to it and dried with a heat gun. I adhered the die cut heart over the inked watercolor paper and fussy cut around it.

The background on the right was made for Jan's Happy Mail - distress oxide challenge. I die cut two hearts one from black and one from inked paper to match the background (wilted violet). I offset them slightly and adhered them together and then to the background.

LOVE YOU was die cut from the backgrounds allowing the black mat layer to show through.

Thanks again for the distress oxide background challenge Jan. I made a lot of backgrounds and I'm having fun using them.

TFL!
