Good Morning.
Simple card today as I play with a stencil from Memory Box and my Distress inks.
I began by placing my stencil onto my card front and got out my Distress inks.
I stenciled the center area first using Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers, being sure to blend the colours together. Then I used some Dusty Concord for the top area and some Vintage Photo for the earth tone at the bottom of my card.
I removed the stencil, then using a paint brush and some grey ink, I painted some shadows on the trees to add some extra interest.
The sentiment was inked with black Memento ink and stamped using my MISTI.
Adding my card to these challenges:
