Crackling Campfire is the new Distress colour from Tim Holtz, and I had great fun playing around with a variety of new products within the line. There’s Distress Oxide ink, Distress Oxide Reinker, Distress Reinker and Distress Paint on this one card! I have to admit that almost all of those I used for the splatter but the main background was a blend of Crackling Campfire, Dried Marigold and Walnut Stain. I added a sentiment stamped on Speckled Egg Distress Oxide after seeing the lovely blue accents mixed with autumn colours in Dawn Woleslagle’s recent card. I’ve linked all supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

KEY INGREDIENTS

- Using a blending brush, blend Dried Marigold Distress Oxide ink over two-thirds of a piece of Neenah Solar White card.

- For a frosty autumn sparkle, restamp the image in Versafine Onyx Black ink and this time sprinkle with Judikins Iridescent Sparkle Embossing Powder and heat set.
- I still wanted more of a pop of Crackling Campfire colour and for this splatter with Crackling Campfire Distress paint.
- Blend Speckled Egg Distress Oxide over a piece of card, when dry stamp a greeting from the Laugh In Flowers set in clear embossing ink and white heat emboss.
- Stamp the Wood Planks background in clear embossing ink on Fog card and white heat emboss.
- Cut and score an A2 card base from Ivory card.
- Trim the wood background to be just smaller than the card base and attach with foam adhesive.
- Trim the blended ink panel and attach with more foam tape.

- Accent with sequins, pearls and enamel dots in a wave that follows the direction of the wildflower stem and creates a feeling of movement.
