Graphic Grid

Morning.  

Playing along with the Splitcoast Challenge this am called Grids and Tiles.  Thought of this stencil I recently bought and haven't really used, so I was off to ink.

I began by laying my stencil over my paper and then using one of the new Distress ink colours called Cracked Pistachio and an inking tool, I rubbed the ink over the whole stencil.  Leaving the stencil in place, I took some circle stamps (and a pencil with an eraser on the end for the smallest circles) inked them up and stamped over the stencil.  I love that the addition of the circles added depth to the background and it made for a happy, bright background when I removed the stencil.
 Lastly, I inked the sentiment from Hero Arts with black Memento ink and stamped it in the corner.
 Stamping over your stencils is a great technique to get more mileage from your collection. 
I think this would make a great card for a guy.
