Dynamic Backgrounds ft. Masking & Distress Oxide Inks

Hello Crafters! It's been a minute since I've created a one layer scene card so when I was going through my stamps and rediscovered Forest Friends I knew it would be perfect to get my fix.

I think the thing I like the most about this set is all the options it gives you. There are a couple of charming little raccoons and an adorable bear plus the tree. You could build a seriously involved scene or you can use just one and create something clean and simple.

I think you can see which route I took. Like you had any doubt.

You can watch the entire card come to life in the video below.

Those Distress Oxide Inks are truly gorgeous. I love how their chalk finish adds lots of color but still gives this out of focus softness that doesn't take away from the main image at all. I can see using these for backgrounds a ton.

Those enamel accents really make the raccoon's eyes pop. If you frequently color animals with darker colors it's definitely worth the investment to add those black eyes back in. It's super helpful to not have to worry about how dark my coloring is especially on an image like this.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
