I created the focal point by inking the reverse of a stencil using distress inks, I then spritzed it with water before placing onto a panel of water colour card. I let it sit for a few seconds - mopping up any escaping ink with a piece of kitchen roll. Once the panel was dry I stamped the flowers with the coordinating stamps. I die cut a square from the panel - leaving lots behind for another card! I also die cut two frames - one black, one white - then combined all of the elements, added a sentiment and considered the card finished!
I used:
Distress inks - squeezed lemonade, mustard seed, dried marigold, ripe persimmon
STAMPlorations - Daisy Dance Stencil and Bloom sketches Stamp set
Versafine Onyx Black Ink
Dienamics - Stitched Square dies
I'm going to enter the following challenges:
