Hero Arts "Ornamental Shells" Birthday Card

 

Another birthday card hot of the press, this one is for a male friend.

I've used a Hero Arts stamp from their woodmounted "Ornamental Shells LL732" set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.

 

I have then laid a Funky Fossil stencil called "Crackle Background" over the top of the stamped image and coloured in the surrounding area with "Tea Dye" Distress Oxide Ink.

I have coloured in the shell image using a Derwent Intense water colour pencil and paint brush.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment, again using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink with a Simon Says Stamp set called "Tiny Words - Birthday".
