Visible Image "Stay Wild" challenge card

This morning on the Eileen Godwin facebook group, she set group members a challenge  saying "Make a card - start with a stencil or stencils and add a stamp or two..."

I used two Clarity Stamp stencils. Starting with the "Circle Dot Stencil" using three shades of pink Archival inks:  Pink Peony, Vibrant Fuchsia and Cactus Flower.  I then added a touch of Majestic Violet too.

Over the top of that, I used another Clarity Stamps stencil called "Stripes", applying "Shadow Grey" Archival Ink through the stencil but only around the edges of the circle.

After lifting the stencil, I decided I wanted a touch more colour to the edge of the circle, so used the brush I had applied the violet with to add a little more colour.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the horse and sentiment from the Visible Image "Stay Wild" stamp set.

I did manage to get a little smudge of ink on the white area around the card, so added a few spots of black "Enamel Accents" to cover it, which kind of tied in with the water splashes.
