One of the techniques I like to use from time-to-time is to use my ink pad directly to press ink on to my paper. In this case, I used Picked Raspberry Distress Ink and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide.
Next, I spritzed the ink with water to let it bleed and soften the hard edges.
I stamped a series of words to create a graffiti-like effect in the background.
On the bottom layer of my card base, I added a little bit of stamped grunge with the Universal stamp set.
I added some hand-drawn stitching, washi tap and black gemstones, along with a stamped ballet dancer to finish off the design.
I hope you all like it!
