Stamps and Stencils

Morning and I have four DT posts today-this is the last one which is for the midway inspiration for the ATG challenge at Love to Craft .I stamped the Agapanthus Cluster from Stampendous in distress ink sprayed with water before stamping,the background card I made with a stencil BUT instead of inking through a brick stencil, I put distress ink on craft mat and sparayed with water then laid the stencil on this then patted down onto card so you get the negative part really then I stamped the sentiment from Visible Image onto an offcut,distress inked round all the edges and done.

Love your inky layers Carol and must have been fun to create. But most of all it's the focal stamp - Stampendous P107 that grabs me, sad that I know the code but it really is my all time favourite stamp. SO as you can guess I love your card.

Many thanks for sharing with us at Penny Black and More challenge.
