 I wanted to create an oxide/ink background with my shades of pink Distress.  I think this was my third try.  Sometimes you have to toss a few away before you get it just right....LOL!  I'm happy with it.  My niece is due to have her twins very soon.  Bet you can't guess what she's having.... :-)  




Recipe:
Distress Ink - Spun Sugar
Distress Oxide - Worn Lipstick, Tattered Rose, Hickory Smoke
Strathmore water color paper
Tim Holtz - Christmas Blueprint 2 stamp set
Doodlebug - white velvet scallop trim
Sew Easy floss - princess
Pretty Pink Posh - iridescent snowflake sequins
Glossy Accents
Misti

Be sure to hop over to LIZ's blog next!!  

Here's our line up in case you get lost along the way.

    Your background is just stunning! I love the pale colors used for this holiday card. And I adore how you used a black and white (or grey) stocking for your focal point.
