JUST US GIRLS #393 Trend Week

Hello crafty friends!

Sue is hosting Trend Week at

JUST US GIRLS,

and she wants you to create a background using any type of ink

you have, be that Distress Inks or Oxides, or any dye inks or sprays.

Here's my card:

 and the inside:

I haven't jumped onto the Distress Oxide bandwagon yet, as I still have plenty of

the Distress Inks to play with, and that's what I used, doing the smooshing technique.

After it was completely dry, I used my MISTI to stamp the image and sentiment multiple

times to get a dark coverage.* I still felt it needed something, so I tinted some crackle embossing

paste with dark chocolate acrylic paint and applied it to opposite corners. 

Once that dried, the panel was framed with dark brown cs and adhered 

to the card base with foam tape. 

Ready to play along? Of course you are! Simply link up at Just Us Girls

so we can admire it! If you need more ideas, please check out the amazing

creations that my teammates and our Guest Designer, Kathie Durgan

have made, and leave them some bloggy lovin!

Thanks for visiting!

Hugs,

* Pay no attention to the fact that I forgot to ground the image with a shadow. Ugh!
