Distress Oxide background

I’ve been playing with distress oxide inks again and its all because of the wonderful folk at the Foiled Fox. I loved the first 12 colours released but when I saw salty ocean, peacock feathers and seedless preserves in the second release I was pretty happy. I am guest blogging over on the Foiled Fox blog today with all the details about this card.
Our family has been enjoying a visit from my sister-in-law, Dale for a few weeks. She came from Australia via Alaska and we have had the chance to do a few little trips around Ontario and Quebec while she’s been here. One afternoon while we were home I was downstairs in my workroom trying to nail this card. I loved the soft blends in the background but deciding on features for the foreground was not happening. Dale came down to see what I was doing and we ended up collaborating to complete the card.

This is beautiful, Heather! I love the soft colors of the background and that gorgeous embossing! The contrast with the sentiment and the little butterfly make this really special!
👍🏻 👍🏻
A fabulous card Heather and love the oxide ink colours and the beautiful PBstamps. I love the way you inked some white card for one of the mats on the sentiment to get the perfect match. x
