I had a little play with some Distress Inks yesterday afternoon. I made a background by blending 'Faded Jeans', 'Chipped Saphire' and 'Tumbled Glass' together on plain white card, before spritzing with water to create a mottled effect. I stamped a music background stamp (a cling stamp by Hero Arts) in 'Faded Jeans', then stamped 'Agapanthus Clusters' (a cling stamp by Stampendous) in 'Chipped Saphire' a couple of times over the top. Before mounting it on my card, I tied a simple bow using light blue satin ribbon. The sentiment is from the CCSR set by Papermania.
