This card is not my design, but by the wonderful Barbara Gray of Claritystamp. The step by step instructions came with issue 16 of the New Design Stencil Club stencil - which, as you can see, is a really useful background stencil. I have been a member of this club since the start and really enjoy receiving the monthly ideas leaflet and new stencil. I am also a member of the stamp club which also provides inspiration and a new stamp each month. I am really pleased with how my version came out, although I am not as proficient with a make-up sponge as Barbara.
