Boo!

Eek! Look at me mum - I'm inking!
Don't look to closely - it's a bit rough - 
but this is my first distress ink background.
I am not good at 'arty' stuff, so I was definitely out of my comfort zone.


For my inspiration I used the challenge picture at Time Out - 
picking out the autumn colours and trees.



The white card above was actually my second attempt.
The prototype is below, in black.
On this one I got a bit giddy and forgot to mask off my moon,
so ended up cutting it out with a circle die after the background was inked.


I also had trouble with the trees. I had to try and mask them off
with tape whilst inking in between them.
On the white card you can see they are a little more defined because I
stamped them in black instead of grey.


All in all - it was a learning curve, but I had fun.
