Good Morning. Today, I am the Guest Designer at STAMPlorations. The challenge for August is
STAMPS and DIE CUTS
I started creating my card by working on the background. I inked up the front of a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop with blue Distress inks. I sprayed the stencil with water, then placed my paper over that. It is like doing a reverse stencil technique.
When my background was dry, I stamped the SUBWAY ART BUILDERS:Create down the side of my card using black Memento ink and added the die-cut leaf.
I hope you can play along with the challenge. You could win a new stamp.
Also adding my card to these challenges:
