INKED BACKGROUND CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

So glad it's a little cooler at the moment, and I do hope the weather where ever you live is being kind to you all.

I try in my crafting life to try lots of different types of crafting skills I have not tried before.

So today I have card that I have been working on over a few days.

My new skills I have tried are inking backgrounds, and stencilling.

 Sorry this is a long winded explanation of how I created this card.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I started by putting DI Worn Lipstick, Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, and Dusty Concord on my glass matt added water and dabbed my card into the wet inks.

I did this about 5 times drying it in between with my heat gun till I liked it.

I then sprinkled water over it and dried it again. 

Buy this time my new Distress Oxide inks turned up from my order. 

So inked the edges with Worn Lipstick DOI.

I then stamped a words background stamp all over it with London Fog Ink.

On the front I stamped some Dragonflies with Cracked Pistachio DOI.

I then used a stencil from Imagination Crafts with the bird and the branches, and Inked it with Tuxedo Black Ink.

I also stencilled around the edges with Imagination Crafts Agean Starlights Paint.

I then used a Glitter gel pen on the branches and the bird.

I inked some more card with DOI Worn Lipstick, Cracked Pistachio, Broken China, and stencilled another bird, and decoupaged it.

Made my flowers with a cheap die and hand cut and coloured my leaves.
Nearly forgot to say I used Snippets to make the bird, flowers, and leaves so I will be joining my playground friends in the Snippets plaground with this.

Hope you like my dabble into inked backgrounds.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY. 

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.
