Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Luster Stencil And Distress Ink

It's Saturday, and this week it's time for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge Midweek Inspiration.  I have a card using one of PB's stencils today.

    

PB Stencil - Luster 25-013

PB Stamp Set - Special Thoughts 30-338

 

How I created my card today:

• On ivory card stock, I placed the Luster stencil.  I taped down the card stock and stencil and used brush ink applicators to apply spun sugar distress ink.  I repeated the application until I had the desired color intensity.  
  
  
  
• I used precision blender brushes to add the shading details with worn lipstick distress ink.  These brushes have more precise brush tips to allow the addition of finer details.
  
• For the leaves and stems, I used the same technique, and used brushed corduroy and walnut stain distress inks.
• I used larger stencil blending brushes to add pale pink distressing on the edges of the card inward. 
• I added distressing on the edges with brushed cordury distress ink, also.
• I added the verse from the Special Thoughts set with rich cocoa Memento ink.
  

And that's it.  I hope you like my card, and you're inspired to join us in this fun 'favorite color' challenge!  I can't wait to see what you create.  And you just might win a prize!  Can't win if you don't play.
