It's all about 'change' right now at this time of year.
The weather is changing, kids are back to school, warmer clothes are coming out, shorter days.
Meet today's card.
I began by masking the center of my card front and stenciled the trees using a Memory Box stencil. I used Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac Distress inks and applied it using a sponge applicator tool. I tried to concentrate more ink down the center of the image to represent the light coming through the trees. I added some shading using a paint brush and grey Memento ink then splattered with water for interest.
I pierced the frame around the image to add interest and added the 'SMile' sentiment.
