where the theme this time is 'distress' which leaves lots of room for interpretation.
I started by punching a circle from masking paper and placing it near the top of some glossy card. I have a very old texture stamp, that I removed from a wooden block several years ago and it has lost it's label, but I began by stamping it on the piece of glossy card with Ranger Archival Shadow Gray ink, which I heat set. I also left this overnight because it was glossy card.
The next day I blended 3 distress inks over the panel and then stamped the branch from Clearly Besotted Love Blossoms stamp set using Stazon ink. The two birds were die cut and placed on the branch and the panel was mounted onto a black mat,
To finish off, I stamped the sentiment on the base card, stencilled a couple of hearts with red ink, and raised the panel on fun foam before removing the moon mask.
We are lucky enough to have Autumn of Sew Paper Paint join us this time as Guest Designer and you can see her lovely card and inspiration from the rest of the team over on the HLS blog and I can't wait to see what you come up with.
