I am up early and feeling the grunge look today, making this card. I brayered three colours of Distress Oxides to colour the background (Bundled Sage, Peeled Paint and Iced Spruce). I then spritzed a stencil/mask (Creative Expressions Skulls) with water and placed it on top of the oxide background, leaving it for a couple of minutes. I lifted the mask off, dabbed with a kitchen roll and then used my heat gun to dry it off.
I used a Visible Image stamp called "Behind Every Mask" for the bird and the sentiment. For the foxing spots, I used a Stampin' up stamp from their "Gorgeous Grunge" set, then inked the edges. Finally, I used a Brusho turquoise to colour the eyes and a white Signo pen.
Great card love the stamp and fabulous background

Thank you Carol. I had hoped the background would be a little more obvious. I'll try with some darker colours, they may give a better result x
