I used Lynne Perella stamps for my main images (I only have two sets, so I am a little restricted)
both are mounted on some offcuts of black card.

Distress backgrounds - Helen Chilton style!
This week at Paperartsy, is Helen Chilton's final turn to wow us - and wow us she has! However, I've only just had a chance to play, with her Wednesday idea, distress inks on a glossy card and stamping on top with white pen highlighting..
I made two backgrounds, with squeezed lemonade, picked raspberry and salty ocean distress inks. One of them I spritzed the ink on the craft mat, and one I didn't.

I thought I'd taken a picture of both backgrounds before I overstamped, but obviously not!
For the second one, I added a couple of Maya Road swirls that I inked with salty ocean distress ink.

I love the colours and the white highlights you've used for this challenge. I have just started a blog called magpieheaven.blogspot.co.uk - I am such a novice. Please, please give it a look, as I am feeling quite lost in the land of blog and I've had very few views or comments!
Hi Helen thanks for the fab comment, the wire is just off a reel of cheap wire, I made it squiggly by hand and pliers so I could cover the block a bit as it wasn't square. I am quite pleased with it lol. Xxxx :-) Kezzy
