Tangled Lanterns

Good morning folks!

It is a beautiful day here in rural Norfolk, and being a Thursday, it is my day off work, so I am at home to enjoy it. - Yay!!

I might get out and do a bit of gardening (long overdue!!)
Today's card is done with one of the lovely new floral stencils from Clarity, this one is Chinese Lanterns

I attached the stencil to a piece of card.
I squished some colours of distress inks on a glass mat, then lightly spritzed them with water.
I used a damp, natural sponge to pick up the ink and apply it to through the stencil
I did the same (without the stencil) round the edge of my base card too
Remove the stencil and wait for it to dry, then using a black fine line pen, I just squiggled over everything!
I made it darker at the bottom of each lantern to add a bit of shade
Cut to size , mat on to black then add to the base card.

I hope you like it!

Enjoy your day and thanks very much for stopping by
