Today I have a card to show you that I made just for the hell of it. I have had this stamp for a long time and to my shame haven't inked it up until now. Its a stamp set by Sheena - who else?
I have stamped the main image with archival black - dried off then painted with distress inks. I've used distress inks and masks to create the sky and hills.
I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
OCCourcreativecorner: Summertime
Stamping sensationssirstampalotchallenge: AG
Thanks for dropping by today - Shaun should get back today so that will make us all feel fabulous - we do miss him when he's away!
