CREATE A FUN DISTRESS OXIDE BACKGROUND!

1. I cut (2) pieces of smooth white cardstock at 5-1/4" x 4"


2.  Using blender brushes, I added ink in circular motions and being mindful of which colors would blend well together (yellow + blue = green / blue + pink = purple, etc)


3.  You don't have to fill the whole sheet on the 2nd piece as we'll be die cutting just the top part. 

4.  Using a small sprayer, I misted water over both sheets, then dabbed off on a paper towel.


5.  Next, I got out my white acrylic paint, a dish of water and a lid.


6.  I mixed some water into the white paint on lid and using my paintbrush, I spattered both sheets.


7.  I'm too impatient to let it dry, so I used my heat gun to dry the white paint


8.  Next, I die cut the Paint Drip Border from the 2nd sheet (that I didn't ink up completely) and from a sparkly silver paper, I die cut the water splatter from the Pool Die.


9.  I attached the paint drip border to the top of my full inky sheet.

10.  I cut a piece of the silver glittery paper at 5-1/2" x 4-1/4"


11.  I then glued the inky piece to the silver piece and glued my splashes to the bottom of card front.


12.  I stamped the sentiment in the Picked Raspberry DOI, and cut the words apart, mounted on pink c.s. and attached at the top with foam strips.

13.  I stamped & colored 2 of the unicorns, fussy cut out and attached with foam dots and DONE!
