Spellbinders Out and About Collection and a Distress Spray Background

Today I used Distress Sprays to create the background.

I have a YouTube video here:

For both cards, I used Distress HeavyStock paper, sprayed Distress Oxide Sprays in Rustic Wilderness and Speckled Egg. Use just a little of these because Distress Oxides will give the entire project a milky, oxidized look. To get clear colors, use more Distress Spray Stain. I used several colors of the regular Distress Spray Stains in:

Peeled Paint, Unchartered Mariner, Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Rusty Hinge, Vintage Photo and Mustard Seed. Wow, that's a lot. I dried the panel in between layers.

After the panel is dry, I placed it into the Leafy Helix embossing folder. I rubbed the Ground Espresso Archival ink pad onto the raised side of the the folder, so the brown ink would be pushed into the paper. After running it through the diecutting machine, I poured clear embossing powder over the panel and heat set it. This leaves a nice clear shine.

I diecut and colored the pieces of the Spellbinders Mushroom Mansion and Garden Buddies diesets, and colored the with Distress inks. I popped up the mushroom and the gnome and bird with foam tape.
