For today's card I'm using Tweet Memories Stamp Set and Die-namics from the April release. To begin, I stenciled Micro Cloud Edges Stencil on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper through Oval Extraordinaire Stencil using Broken China Distress ink. Then I used the negative from Oval Extraordinaire Stencil and sponged the "frame" with Kraft dye ink and Hickory Smoke Distress Ink around the edges. Leaving the negative in place, I spattered some clean water and then black acrylic ink for some interest, then adhered it directly to a Sweet Tooth card stock base.
