Great Friend

Good Morning.
I'm back again with another card I made using some new releases from Penny Black and of course, my favourite blue ink.  
The flower stamp I'm using today is called Effulgent by Penny Black.   

So, here's what I did to create my card.
I began by masking off the front of my heavy weight cardstock and sponged on Distress ink to create the framed area.  I placed the flower inside my Misti and then coloured part of the flower using Tombow makers, sprayed with water and stamped.  I repeated that process using darker shades of the blue until I was happy with the look.  
I stamped the sentiment from the PB Happy Wishes sentiment set with Memento black.
I wanted to add interest to the blue sponged background, so I inked up the flower again and stamped it along the top edge using the same colour as the background ink.  
Lastly, I inked up the PB Script stamp with gray ink and randomly stamped it into the masked area.



Adding my card to these challenges:

    I love your pretty masked background with the inking and the script Karen and the beautifully inked and spritzed stamp image is just perfect over the top, with a great sentiment to finish.
