The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

 It's week four at The House That Stamps Built, everyone's favorite:  Anything Goes:

 


 I went with a CAS card but oh is it not striking.  I like the technique of
ink blending inside a shaped stencil (bought or made at home) and then 
stamping your image over it. I stamped this  Repeat Impressions Great Blue Heron 
with black Versa Fine Clair ink and then embossed with clear ink.

Join our weekly challenge, you might just 
be the lucky winner of the monthly drawing for the
 $25 Repeat Impression's  gift certificate. you don't have to use
Repeat Impression stamps but an extra chance if you do.  
Drawing is the first Wednesday every month.

    Very pretty Anything Goes, makes a great masculine card which I never seem to have enough of. Did a great job of the ink blending.

    It is indeed very striking Donna, the oval feature is blended beautifully and the Heron is rather splendid isn't he. It's lovely to have you join in with our first theme at We Love Chocolate Baroque, thank you so much and hope to see you again.
