G'Day
A bit more stencilling. Found a cool technique with distress inks, water and stencil.
Here is my card. The front.
The inside.
I love how the background turned out. I sponged water coloured paper with distress ink (crushed olive), all over, placed the stencil by KaiserCraft on top and sprayed water all over, waited a couple of minutes, then wiped with paper towel and dried with heat gun.
Here is the result of the background. How cool, I love it.
I stamped the butterflies (STAMPlorations - artiful butterflies) with distress inks (broken china, barn door, dusty concord and wild honey) onto the background and again on watercolour paper with same colours and watercoloured them in and fussy cut them out, stuck them on and placed silver glitter glue and mod podge for shine and a jewel for an extra touch.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges :-
