Fun & Funky Easy Inky Backgrounds

Hello Crafters! How are you? I’m sharing some bright and cheerful cards today, let’s hope the weather here in the UK takes the hint! I thought that these Funky Flowers stamps from Polkadoodles were so fun that they deserved bright colours and some fun inky backgrounds! And I know, I lost some of you with inky backgrounds! But I promise, these are fun and don’t require you to be a blending pro (although if you are, then they’re super fun too!). I like to think of cards like these as a “play” session, where you can just let loose and see what happens, there’s definitely no “right” and “wrong” with cards like these!

I use both distress and distress oxide inks for my blending in this video, but if you don’t have these inks, give the technique a go with whatever dye inks you have on hand.

You check out the video tutorial for all 3 of these cards below, or you can scroll a little further if you’re looking for the supply list.
