I kept the design simple (I know..you are shocked! HA!) by inking the stencil on a white panel. I used a couple different distress inks and I love how pretty the color turned out! I then simply added the sentiment(Skipping Stones) in black over the inked cloud to finish the card. SUPER simple, but I think it conveys the perfect calmness that I was going for.
AND...that's not all, folks! I also have a fun tutorial up over on the Skipping Stones Design Blog today! Come on over and check it out! I'd love to read your comments over there! Here is a peek:
