I decided to use a 5" x 7" card and cut the mat to fit it..I did cut it down more when I was ready to add it to the card. In my rush to take the photo and get it up I forgot to cut a bit of excess card from the bottom as it is a little unbalanced but too late now...lol. They are actually winter trees but I wanted to make them in leaf.
I inked the piece of card using the stencil and two Distress Inks - Stormy Sky and Bundled Sage keeping it light, and then used my stamp positioner and some Staedler Watercolour Brush Pens straight to stamp and added a little water but lost quite a lot of the detail. I then stamped over it with a Versafine Sepia Ink and then added a bit more of the water colour pen straight to the paper, and using a waterbrush I moved it around and softened it by removing some of the ink with a piece of kitchen towel. Not sure that it totally works but it was a quick card. I finished with the sentiment which came with the magazine stamped with the Vintage Sepia Ink.
Thank you for visiting me today and I'll see you again soon.
