The main background was done with Distress Inks, a stencil/mask placed over and water lightly spritzed through. After a couple of minutes or so you remove the mask and the design appears, almost as if bleached. Sorry it is a bit wonky but I had to photograph it rather than scan it because of the curled out bit at the bottom.
Each image (sorry, not a clue whose stamps they are - unmounted and un-named) has a black surround and the curve on the large one is simply because that particular 'scrap' piece had that curve - obviously been left over from a die cut. I rather liked it though.
The 'curl' rectangle is simply another piece of card with a small border marked around the back and then a 'cross slit' cut in between the corners of the border. Curl the points around a pencil and voila - that is it. I love doing these and can remember my class loving them when I first did one on a book cover years ago.
Well, must get on with other things, so am leaving you with this. Take care and keep crafting!
