So one layer plus stencils had me thinking for a while, not so much the one layer bit but the stencils. I love using stencils as part of the background but find it quite a challenge to use them as the focal point of a card, something about the smudgy edge finish I think. Anyhow here's my card:
But I'm quite liking the edges on these buterflies, seems to suit the airy fluttering feel of the images. They were inked with three colours of distress ink and then a ittle water spalashed and blotted on them to create some markings. The antennae were drawn with pen.
I added a stamped sentiment which seemed particularly appropriate to my misgivings about using a stencil.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, sentiment from Spring Botanicals Daffodil
Stencil: ARTplorations, Flutters & Splatters
Inks: Ranger distress, blueprint sketch, mermaid lagoon, cracked pistachio
So pleased to have your company today, thanks so my for looking.
And keep crafting!
