The other day I shared a joke on Facebook - and every time I saw it, it made me giggle.
For some reason it was deleted...

This is my version:



Early last year I made a whole bunch of these backgrounds.
I used four distress inks and smeared them across a Stampin' Up tree embossing folder.


I found it best to just smear in one direction - horizontally across the folder. I then placed a square of white card in the folder and rolled it through the Big Shot.


I trimmed each background, distressed it around the edges with 'brushed corduroy' and added it to a white card base, layered it on a square of paper from my stash. 

I made a series of 'Owl' cards with these, and this is today's:


 from Oddball Art Co .
The bee is  from Leigh's Busy Bees Collage and Sentiment Set
Both were coloured with Copics and cut out.
I then added the sentiments - printed on the computer and with added edges.


I will add this to “The Summer BUZZ Blog Hop” 




Happy Crafting!

      I saw that joke on FB and liked it! I wonder why it got deleted as it’s not offensive!

      I wonder if it's copyright? Look at my next post to see more distress ink in an embossing folder...

    Bwahahaha, that sentiment just cracked me up LOL! Wonderful techniques & card, love that my bee joined the fun! I’m so fed up with Facebook as I’ve been struggling for months to get what I post in my group & other groups to stay, everything vanishes & my requests for help are just ignored :0(
