Trying something different

I am running close to the wire with this one for the Less is More challenge.  The theme this week is Stencils and Masks and I have managed both in this card.  It is a different style for me but I am quite pleased with the results.

Materials:
Clarity small leaf stencil
Hills and Mountains stencil
Inkylicious Stamps - Handwritten Script, The Coppice
Free Birthday Greeting stamp
Distress Inks - Vintage Photo, Old Paper
Adirondack Inks - Meadow, Denim
Archival Sepia
A4 White card blank 


Method:
I used the leaf cut from the stencil to block out where I wanted the void to be on the background and then stamped the script stamp over it with Vintage Photo and Old P aper.

Using the stencil to cover the script I stamped the Coppice stamp through it onto the leaf shaped void. Keeping the leaf stencil in place I used hills and mountains stencil to brush in the grass and sky with Meadow and Denim ink. I then brushed Vintage Photo ink around the edges of the card and very faintly over the script areas.  Finally I stamped the birthday greeting at the bottom.
