Distress Mixology No. 6 Inspiration – Valentine’s Day

Hi friends! Today I’m sharing my Distress Mixology No. 6 inspiration. I chose to use my background to create 4 cards, two Valentine’s Day and two for other occasions. I cut the background into four, 4.25″ x 5.5″ panels. Sometimes I’ll use the background to create multiple cards or I’ll use it to make one card and put the rest of the backgrounds in my stash to be used later. That’s the fun of creating basckgrounds, use them now or later. If you save some for later you can pull one out of your stash when you’re in a pinch to create something quickly.

In case you missed the Distress Mixology No. 6 blog post where I created the background, you can find it here.

I used two Tim Holtz stamp sets to create these cards, Abstract Florals and Love Notes. You can find a list of all the supplies I used below.
