Stencilled Class - Day 1 - Card 2

This is the second card I made from the videos. The stencil the teacher used was heart shaped. I only have standard square ones but I got out a scrap piece of paper and hand cut a heart shape to use as a mask - pretty ingenious if I do say so myself!

Second card was inking with versamark then clear embossing and inking over that.:

I tried to use as much Tim Holtz distress ink so I could add droplets of water as suggested in the video. Sorry about my blending - it had been a long day and my arm was too sore to continue to blend it until it was perfect. The tutor was right: you do get sore fingers from holding the blending tool and adding so much pressure to your work!
