Easy Oxide Background

Afternoon crafters. Second blog of the day while the little one is playing with daddy lol.

This card is really easy and quick to make as long as you don't keep getting distracted like I did last night watching pretty little liars and looking at facebook. Us women really do know how to multi-task ;)

What you'll need:

• Sheena card, Black card and 6x6 card blank
• Distress oxides - Cracked pistachio, Wilted violet and Broken china
• Versafine Onyx Black
• Bee Crafty Lustre luxe Honey Pearl
• Bee Crafty Butterflies set 1 stamps
• Bee CraftyWORDage Wake Wonderful stamp

Step 1:

Cut some sheena card to 5.5x5.5. On your craft sheet/blending matt put down some Broken Chine Oxide, mist with water until droplets form and smoosh/drag your card through until your happy with the amount you have on the card. While wet with your water bottle/fingers/paint brush flick some droplets on to the card. Blot of excess water with a kitchen towel. Repeat this with the Wilted Violet and then the Cracked Pistachio. Then dry with your heat tool when your happy with how the background looks.

Step 2:

Using your finger gently blend some Honey Pearl Lustre Luxe around the edge of the card. Stamp the Wake Wonderful sentiment into the middle of the card in the Onyx Black. Take the half of the butterfly from the set and stamp where you want to near the sentiment just to add a little something extra. You could colour this in if you wish.

Step 3:

Now just use some black card to matt it with then simply pop it onto your card blank.

And it's as easy as that :) Feel free to ask any questions or leave a comment.

Until next time
