I love sentiment stamps so when I saw this challenge at Splitcoast this a.m. I was in.
The challenge is called 'Use Your Words'...make the sentiment the focal point of our card. It gave me a chance to play with my new stamp set from Simon Says.
I used the same stencil as yesterday but in a different way.
Instead of laying the stencil on the paper and rubbing ink over it, I rubbed Salty Ocean, Shaded Lilac and Peacock Feathers Distress ink directly on the back of the stencil, sprayed with water and then pressed that onto my white cardstock. It gives a totally different look then applying ink in the usual way. More of a blurred look with patches of ink.
When dry, I stamped the sentiment and the snowflakes.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp- SOMETHING NEW
That Craft Place- MONOCHROMATIC
A Gem of a Challenge- SOMETHING NEW
Just Us Girls- STENCIL
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Supplies: stamps- SSS/ stencil SSS/ Distress ink/ Memento bl/ mini mister
