Distress Oxide Background

Here is a birthday card I made using a distress oxide background.  It didn't come out quite as I expected it, but still worked. 

I used the following to make the card:

• Distress Oxide Ink - Seedless Preserves, Abandoned Coral, Tattered Rose
• Penny Black Blooming Garden Stamp set
• Honey Bee Sentiment Banners Dies
• Altenew Beautiful Inside Stamp Set
• Versamark
• Stampendous Detail White Embossing Powder
• Ranger Perfect Pearls Perfect Pearl

I first made the background with the Distress Oxide inks.  This was then sprayed with water which was mixed with Perfect Pearl.  The image was stamped, and I then "colored" the stamp with the pearlized water.  This was then added to the card base.  The sentiment strip was created by stamping the sentiment with Versamark, adding the embossing powder and heat setting it.  It was then cut with one of the banner dies and added to the card, completing the card.
