Virginia's View Challenge #2 - Card 3

This will be my last card for this challenge. It has given me another dimension to crafting, using stencils in such different ways. Once again I have used a paper die-cut.



I used Victorian velvet to distress the background with the diecut in place. I then used a distress marker 'Picked Raspberry' to ink up one of the flower stamps from the 'Remember' set AC028 from Hero Arts. I did not spray with water, that is not necessary with this set, it doesn't make the stamped image any nicer, but that is my opinion.
Then I gold embossed the sentiment (which is from Penny Black and I love it!) to finish it off. Oh yes, always love adding a couple of pearls from Hero Arts too.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this challenge and looking forward to the next one already.
