One Background - Two Cards

I love a good two-for . . . and creating backgrounds with Distress Oxide inks makes it pretty easy to do that.

Oh, yes, I did use the Mae the Mouse stamp set, just no mouse this time.  I really wanted to use all the "extras" in the set, so this is what I came up with.

I started by randomly stamping the images with Memento Luxe Wedding Dress ink all over a piece of card stock.  Then I heat embossed the images with white embossing powder.

Next, I applied Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide inks using a mini ink blending tool.  Once I was happy with the blending, I buffed off the excess ink with a soft cloth the sleeve of my sweatshirt.  (Don't worry, it's a dedicated crafting sweatshirt.)

From there, I die cut a heart from the inked panel.  Now I have two pieces to use for two cards.

Here's the first one:
