Carnations for Mother's Day

Another inky card to share ... this time using worn lipstick with a touch of milled lavender distress inks sponged through an art stencil to create my abstract background before over stamping the carnations in black, adding colour to the flowers with a water brush again with DIs.

Some of the colour block edges were masked so I could stamp just small parts of the carnations in a lighter grey ink before drawing around each block with a fine tip marker pen to make the whole design pop.  My stamped sentiment fitted perfectly too.  The background panel was cut down slightly with a deckle edge to fit my card base, again edged in marker pen.

I've used - 13.5 cm sq card blank; Claritystamp abstract squares art stencil; Claritystamp carnation stamp; Distress Inks; mag freebie sentiment stamps
