Today I'm participating in the Impressions Obsession and StencilGirl Products Blog Hop! I'm featuring a cute Woodland Friends image from Impression Obsession and the fantastic Kilim Patterns stencil from StencilGirl Products. I used an ink blending applicator and a section of the stencil to create a subtle border along the left side of the card, and I love it! I doubled up the pattern in the opposite direction for visual interest. The image is stamped in black Memento ink and colored with alcohol markers, and the entire front panel of the card is inked with brown Distress Ink.
Blog Hop and Giveaway Details!
StencilGirl Products will be giving away a $25 Gift Certificate to TWO lucky winners! Impressions Obsession will be giving away a $25 Gift Certificate to TWO lucky winners!
