I started by applying distress inks to the reverse of centura pearl card using cut and dry foam.
I used more than one shade of blue and blended them until I was happy.
Next I used the imagination crafts honeycombe stencil and a darker blue distress ink - I applied this through the stencil using the cut and dry foam.
Next I added the dragonfly and poppies stencil to my piece - I coloured the dragonflies in a dark blue distress ink and used an alcohol pen to colour the stems - then i used a dark red distress ink to colour the poppies again using cut and dry foam to apply the ink.
Here is my piece ...
I then simply mounted it and left it without a sentiment.
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial - I will be doing another one fairly soon so I hope you will enjoy that too! Thanks for joining me today and I hope to see you again soon.
