Today was such an enjoyed day!! I went to Scrapfest in Kitchener with a friend and it was great to meet up with fellow stampers there. I picked up a few more stencils...(it's all your fault Virginia Lu!!...so happy I bumped into her) and some other crafting goodies to play with. When I got home, I was inspired by this challenge at Splitcoast. Here is the inspiration photo from the AIGA Design site:
I started my card by stenciling the background with a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop. The stencil is filled with inspiring words and I love the font. I inked it up with Peeled Paint Distress inks then splattered some water onto the ink to add some depth. When that was dry, I stamped the flowers, added the sentiment and then lastly, the splatters of black for interest.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
Virginia's View- #2 STENCIL
CASology- #90 WET (I added water and wet paint)
Allsorts Challenge- SPRING FLOWERS
Thanks so very much for coming by and taking a look.
Supplies: stamps- Unity, Mama Elephant/ stencil/ Distress ink/ inking tool/ bl Memento ink
