I used masking to make the background on this card. I sponged the background with Distress Oxide which some colors do not give me the smooth look that I expect to achieve from Distress Oxide but with this card and the swirls on the stamp it looks like I intended for it to happen!
Could it be my Distress Oxides are old? I've had them since they were first released and the reinkers are as old as their first release...so...with this card it worked may not with others!
