Welcome.
Meet today's card.
I just picked up this great image from I Brake for Stamps from the set called The Old and New and wanted to get a chance to play with it. It's such a wonderful, iconic image and I wanted it to shine on my card.
I began by die-cutting some heavy white cardstock using the Wonky Frame die. I masked the edges to contain the image to the framed area, then placed it into my Misti and stamped. I added the sentiment....it just seemed to go perfectly with the image.
Next, I looked through all my 'hoarded' backgrounds and found this one.
I had created it by inking up a piece of heavy white cardstock with some DOX inks, then stenciled over it with some black ink. It is very dramatic looking and I thought it would work great with this image.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Here is the stencil I used from A Colorful Life Designs called Lace Doily
