Distress Background

I was playing around with the Distress Oxides but not getting results I wanted. Then I spotted THIS on pinterest. Romana was kind enough to explain her process ... 

... she started with standard Distress Inks, then added the Distress Oxides,

... and it is very important to let the layers dry in-between.

I'm so much happier with the results now. I also added splatters of Gold Delicata - I use the refill ink.

I used some shimmer cardstock for the die.
