Naughty and Nice!

Greetings Inky Friends!!

Today I'm sharing a fun technique using Distress Stains and a Shimmer Spray.

I began by adding stains directly to my background stamp.

I "activated" the stains using the Dylusions Mica spray which has a shimmer in it.

I was afraid that color would over power the stains, but it did not! I would suggest a translucent shimmer spray but I did not have one available at the time of creating :)

I then took some Distress ink and sponged around the Swaths of Texture background piece.

My focal image uses one of the New October Releases called Mrs. Santas List. 

I colored her using Distress Markers and the green piece used behind her was a

scrap left over I had from another project.

Of course I had to add some more shimmer so I added glitter to her santa hat.

I love the vibrant and retro feel of this card. One of my favorites yet!

Until next time...
Happy Creating!
