WF15StencilSurprise Birthday Card

Sadie, I had a ball making this card! Thanks for the unique and fun challenge.
This is a pinky/purple card, photographed on a black background. The collaged panel was done on Canson 140lb watercolor paper.
I used :
15 stamps (not including the inside)
2 distress paint colors
5 inks (2 black - distress and versafine, archival watering can, bright pink pigment and distress spiced marmalade -spattered)
4 shapes that were part of 1 stencil (swirls, crown, scallops, and a faint glitter pen line)

It was fun to use lots of funky stamps I have, but rarely if ever use! I turned this in to a birthday card for my sister. There is a little bit of wink of stella glitter pen but it's not showing well in the picture. I outlined some circles, the crown, and swirls. Like you Sadie, I used a credit card and black distress ink to make the black lines. Luckily I painted another background, so before I put all those stamps and inks away ... I think I'll make at least one more!
