Grunge Birthday



Playing with the sketch at STAMPlorations.


I inked the brick embossing folder with Distress Ink in Black Soot and ran it through my Big Shot on gray cardstock, then sponged more Black Soot around the edges.  The main panel uses stamps and stencils from STAMPlorations in various inks and the little tabs are stamps from the new release at STAMPlorations (thanks Shery!)  I am loving my new stamps and stencils!  I am really splatter impaired and these stamps and stencils are perfect to get the effect without all of the mess.

Thanks for visiting!
