A Leap in the Dark

Hello Nomad friends.  I made a card using Stamplorations Retro Stencil and Salty Ocean distress oxide the other day.   Thrifty crafter said don't waste that ink on that stencil, so I sprayed the inky stencil with water, turned it over on a black base card, put a heavy weight on it and went to bed.  Was very pleased with the result when I turned it over the next day.  Then I saw 52 Weeks to Christmas challenge and decided to play bingo with it.

Square card base, rectangle stencil so I smeared the 'unstencilled' areas with Salty Ocean distress oxide.  You can clearly see the difference between the activated oxidised ink and the fresh ink.  I cut Stamplorations deer from blue card, inked it with Promarkers to add some texture and added a swoosh of glitter glue.  Then I cut Papirdesigns God Jul (Merry Christmas) from blue card and added glitter glue for that extra Christmas bling.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
