I've been inspired by Alison Bomber of W0rdsandp1ctures. I started off my card by playing with the gel press and a stencil with some Tim Holtz Distress Paints. I think you can just about see the very soft image I eventually got after a couple of takes from the press.
I added some of Alison's gorgeous stamps from Paper Artsy Pressed Grasses Edition EAB40. I think these are some of my favourite stamps of hers so far. I found in my drawer an old Ranger Archival Ink called Seafarer which I didn't even know I had and I just adore this blue. I'm going to definitely see if it's still a current colour in case it runs out of ink soon. I used this colour and Versafine Morning Mist for the background stamping. I then used a stamp by Sara Nauman ESN62 also for Paper Artsy. This is a new designer for me and I loved this set with the gorgeous butterflies. I stamped the butterfly first then reinked it and cut out the butterfly and added it with some dimensionals. I cut the wings very gently to give them a bit of movement which doesn't really show up on the card.
I'm adding this into the following
Inkspirational - Stencilled background
Creative Fingers - AG
Just us Girls - Stencils
Simply Ellibelle - from the garden
