Today, I am sharing a card I made for my friend who celebrated her birthday yesterday.
This is my first time of making an inked background with a stencil.
I was quite pleased with the result, so I think I'll be trying it again.

laid the stencil over the card and lightly inked with Dusty Concord and
Spiced Marmalade Distress inks.
