Hello crafters! Today's card is an old technique that uses Distress inks on to your craft mat. It is fabulous for a quick background and it always looks different every time you do it!
The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now. Sue x

Morning Sue, i like today's card, although I've never been sure on the box type die but here were you yesterday, I tried this technique for a Valentine's card I was making. Not sure if I did it right, so i will watch your video and find out x.

Hi Sue
Today’s card is so beautiful, love that rose. Thank you for the great video, I’ve never tried your background technique with distress inks before, so will have to give it a try
Love and hugs to everyone

Good morning Sue Lovely card with great background I love the way you created dimension to the frame topper
Hi Sue, although not the usual valentines colour I think this would make a fantastic card for that occasion. WakeyL
Hi Sue,
Beautiful card. I love the box die, it is so versatile. And the background is fab.
I have a box full of distress inks, and must use these more.
Everybody seems to be going on about Oxides, but I have to use my distress inks up first - or at least get the 35 l storage box down by half.
I'll watch the video later on, as a treat with a cup of coffee.

A lovely CAS card with a lovely blue background. Haven’t done one like this for a while. Thank you for the reminder Sue.
Hi Sue, lovely card. Pretty background, especially with the gold splats and the rose is beautiful
Barbara V
Just love that background Sue, as you say make a few of them and set them aside for other cards, quick and easy....beautiful card, simple but stunning...luv Ursula xx
Hi Sue, a really lovely CAS card. The elegant rose die certainly lives up to her name here and I love the way you backed the tiles with vellum. Thank you for reminding me of the background technique, I have not done this for a long time (too much fun with pixies) so it is good to have a refresher.
Frances
Very pretty :)
Hi Sue. What a really pretty rose to add an accent to a hand made background. We do all get caught up in using new techniques and it is good to get a gentle reminder of some of the ways we used to make backgrounds. Perhaps it would be a good idea to have a session to make lots of backgrounds for use later when we are pushed for time. Just look at the results as you have shown here!
Lisbeth
So simple but so beautiful Sue!!! Love the dimension you created with the raised center in the tiles.
Quite different and simple but effective.
