613 Avenue Create June 2020 - Create a Blended Background

Hi, there!  We're back at 613 Avenue Create with a new challenge for June - Create a Blended Background.  As usual, I made a clean and simple card:

I am loving Distress Oxide Inks.  I first blended the inks onto my card panel and then embossed my background stamp with white embossing powder.  Then I again blended Distress Inks over the panel. I wiped off the inks after the second time.  I also embossed my sentiment and fussy cut around it.

What do you think about how it turned out?  I rather like it.

What kind of inks do you like to use for blended backgrounds?  I have to say that I've only used either Distress or Distress Oxides.  We'd love to see what you use. And don't forget to check to see our winners from last time.

Thanks for visiting!

Here is A Place to Start - June 2020 - Create a Shaped Card

Hello, Friends.  I hope you are all safe and healthy.  Are you still staying in?  I am, as much as possible.  During these times, crafting is my only outlet.  I am thankful to be able to get to a happy place with my craft supplies.

Our new challenge at Here is A Place to Start has the optional twist of creating a shaped card.  I used a scalloped circle die to do just that.  This is a really simple, easy to make card. It's decorated with patterned paper from my stash, a simple sentiment and some tiny sequins.
