Good morning bloggers,
This is a scheduled post as I am on my way to Peterborough today to set up tomorrow for another Imagination Crafts show on Create and Craft. We have two slots tomorrow, I am on at 12 midday and Sue is on at 6pm so be sure to tune in as there are some great demos planned and fantastic goodies up for grabs....
As you know our promotion this month is all about inked background techniques so I thought that I would start this month by showing you a card that I made for the workshop last week using stencils, Distress inks and stamps. It went down very well with the ladies.....
Well that is all from me for now, I will be back on Saturday with another make, have a great day.....

Yellow is not my go to grab colour really but I just felt the need for colour to maybe remind me of spring and summer, I really am not a winter person. I adore the spring where everything comes to life and the nights draw out and the sun returns :0) .......
For this card I used an Imagination crafts Stencil called Grunge Elements which I love and will be stocking very soon. I also used Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress inks through the stencil....
I then stamped using Versafine Onyx Black Ink with Kaisercraft Botanical stamp across three areas of the card and embossed them with Wow Clear Powder and also added a sentiment.
I made a watercolour wash with both ink pads and then painted in some detail on the stamped areas. A little matting and layering and I was done. I think you will agree that it is a really quick but effective card.......
Well that is all from me for now, I will be back on Saturday with another make, have a great day.....
