Welcome to Dream Valley’s challenge for the next two weeks, All Things Bright and Beautiful. Today’s challenge is just for fun, as there is no actual prize.
I started with a blank sheet of Clarity 7” Stencil card, and a blank sheet of Crafters Companion A4 black card, a sheet of scrap card., some Tim Holtz dies and some Spellbinders Border dies.
With the scrap card and border dies I cut two fancy edges, which I then taped down over the stencil card to create my own stencilled shape between 1/3 and half way up.
Using Distress Oxides I inked in between my two edges making my own stencilled shape.
Then I stamped some random stamps from Marianne’s texture range.
The little pot with the wildflower is from Tim Holtz, and was lurking in my spare diecuts box. I liked the plain black against the brightly coloured shape. I originally stamped the clarity Congratulations stamp directly onto the card but it fell off the block and made a mess, so I stamped a second time and faux matted it up by going around the trimmed out sentiment with black ink.

I love the inked band with the different images on it, Lin. The black silhouetted flower and vase compliment it perfectly. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Addicted to Stamps and More.

Hi, Lin! I love the masking on your inky background! So colorful and pretty. You asked a question on my blog, and the answer is: The flower was spritzed with water, and each petal was crimped and shaped. Every 2nd or 3rd petal was cut off so the flower beneath could be seen. thanks for visiting my blog! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteGreat card Lin. Loving the black against the bright inks!
