I’m sharing another card today using the damask background stamp set from the STAMPtember release. This card was so much fun to make. I used a lot of distress oxide inks and distress resist spray.

First, I layered all the warm colors of ink down.

Then, I used the distress resist spray to the background. Because the spray nozzle is plugged, I added a little puddle of the product to a piece of plastic and then used a blending dauber to dab onto the background to lock in the color.

Up next, I added the cool colors on top, covering up the ink that was not locked in by the spray. Then I repeated the process with the resist spray, locking in the new colors. When I was done, I lightly buffed the surface to remove ink from the previous resist. The I used black soot to cover all the remaining unresisted parts of the cardstock.

Sadly, I didn’t take an after picture of the black over the card stock! But I finished the card by adding the damask background and it’s a gold embossing and a shadowed thank you die!
