I have been having a lot of fun with Distress Oxide inks lately, and I knew that the Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral colours would be beautiful paired with this collection. I was inspired by Christine Meyer's distress oxide backgrounds and decided to create my own.

I started off my cutting a heart stencil on my Cricut, and then sponging over it onto White Daisy cardstock, using it as a mask. I used Picked Raspberry in the middle, and then blended out the edges with Abandoned Coral. Then I cut the White Daisy cardstock to 10 x 10 and placed it over the checkered paper from the Perfect Match collection.

I embellished this with both the sticker sheet and the matching stamp set in this collection.

I stitched around the heart to add a bit more interest but I love how the colours blended together to create the bold heart background.
