Three Distress Oxide Background Handmade Cards (Two Shaker Cards) Tutorial

Welcome to a new Cards By Kendra blog post!

Today I wanted to share the tutorial video for these three handmade cards I made using Distress oxide inks for making the backgrounds. I posted about the third card a few days ago, which is a scented "Happy Birthday" card. I promised a tutorial video on how I made it, so here it is! Two of these three cards are shaker cards. The first card I made (not a shaker card) is below.

The first card was made using an emboss resist technique with the Batik stencil from Martha Stewart. My video tutorial doesn't show all of the steps and instructions for the first card shown in the picture. It only shows how I made the background. To finish the card, I used the "Friend" die and the flower/vine die from the "Well Written" die set by Stampin' Up. I thought the flower matched the center part of the stenciled image pretty well. Black cardstock was used to cut out the die cuts and then adhered to the background. The background was placed on a black cardstock base (4.25" x 5.5"). I placed the sentiment "I believe IN YOU" that was punched out using Stampin' Up's Classic punch on top of a filigree die (from a retired die set) using 3D foam squares.

The instructions on how I made the background for the first card and the entire instructions on how I made the other two cards are in the video below:
