Distress Backgrounds with Neat & Tangled + A Sale

 Hello Crafters! 

I hope you're enjoying some extra time doing something you love this Memorial day weekend. 

After all it's what our soldiers fought and died for. 

Please take a minute to remember then among the hustle and bustle today :) 

Speaking of hustling, today is the last day for the 25% off Neat & Tangled Sale! 

I got a little crazy with the To The Stars set because honestly fairies are fantastic. 

I had all these ideas and I couldn't pick one so I have three different cards for you today ha! 

The joy of images like fairies is they are so versatile. You can use them for a ton of different things or themes which is my i couldn't narrow it down lol. 

Plus the backgrounds are fun and easy to make!

First up is the galaxy fairy. She's an adorable focal point on a really rich background. I chose distress inks for this one so the colors would be bold and bright. All the better to see our sparkly star splatters on :) 

This background is probably the most versatile of them all. A simple gradient of colors from bottom to top along with some perfect pearls. You can legit use this for any type of theme. Since I wanted a flower/forest fairy I went with blues and greens. 

This background takes the most time since there is masking involved but it's the super easy kind. No fussy cutting required! The beach accessories are all I needed to add to complete my scene and make sure my fairy is having herself a really good time!

You can see all the backgrounds and the coloring in the video below! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Have a great day!
