Why hey there, it’s CASE Study time! With a new challenge comes another stunner from Joni Nina Andaya, our March Muse - won’t you looked at this distressed heaven!

One of my favourite effects involves creating radiant backgrounds with Distress Inks, and then spicing them up by splattering with water. I had a clear idea in my head for the card I wanted to make but once I created my background (using the said technique but different colours), I had to talk myself back into covering it with a die cut plate, it looked so lovely. I’m glad I stuck to it ’cause the effect is quite lovely - and I redeemed myself by smuggling more of that awesome background into the sentiment circle 🙂

The background die is from Penny Black and it’s called Interlocking. Same for the sentiment, it comes from the PB set called Kind Words. The Distress Inks used are Mowed Lawn, Evergreen Bough & Iced Spruce.

Check out the blogs below for the Design Team’s takes on the challenge, or visit CASE Study to see it all in all place.
