Just a bit of stamping

Hello!

I hope you have been enjoying your weekend.  It has been very cold and miserable here....perfect for lots of stamping time :)

I decided to play with my much neglected gelatos to make a boy card:



I blended a range of gelatos together in the background and inked through a dotty stencil in the corners in salty ocean, peeled paint and black soot distress inks.  I sprayed through my HA numbers stencil over that with Studio Calico opaque white mist.  Finally I stamped the headphones from Indigo Blu and the sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps.  This is more grungy than my usual style but I really like how it turned out.  I will play with gelatos more often :)

I will link up at Craft Stamper's Take It Make It Challenge

 
and at Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge - Its A Guy Thing. 

I also wanted to play along for the second consecutive week with Taheerah's Cure for the Monday Blues Challenge.  The black and gold combo is so lovely:



This was my first time inking up the gorgeous Painted Butterflies set from Altenew and I just used the very simplest outline on this design to keep it CAS.  I will link up for a second time at CASology's NBUS challenge.

That's another crafty weekend finished for me....

Thanks, as always, for stopping by!
