Hi! I’m Sara Levin the artful inker. Welcome to my blog!! Today is the Creation Station Blog Hop Got Your Back. The design team has created projects highlighting ways to pump up your backgrounds. I’m sharing a Faux Oxide Ink background. You’re going to love the inspiration!
Creation Station Blog Hop Got Your Back
Our theme this month is all about the background.
This baby has back…ground, that is 😉
 I pulled out my Faux Oxide Ink Technique to share,
as it makes a fun background!!
The colors for the background are:
Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, Seaside Spray and Pacific Point.
After creating the background (technique video below),
you’ll want to stamp that gorgeous bloom from
Good Morning Magnolia in Basic Gray.
Next, use the stitched tag from the Wild Rose dies
to cut a piece of Shimmery White.
And, use letters from Hand Lettered Prose dies to cut
the sentiment from Basic Gray.
Embellish with
Granny Apple Green Textured Weave Ribbon and
Silver Metallic Thread.
Then, finish with Frosted Epoxy Droplets.
Perfect “thinking of you” card!
Be sure to grab the FREE tutorial for this card, below.

This card is so pretty. I like the simple black on the bkgd and the droplets are a nice added touch.

Loving the Summer colours for your background feature, Sara. And a video so I can make my very own? Thankyou for your inspiration. D x
Thanks, Denita! I think this is the first project with the faux oxide technique that I used summer colors. Hope you’ll have a play!

Thanks, Martin! Always fun to see what works together.
Lovely card! I have never tried this background technique–on my list now.
