This is what I got up to. I used some ink sprays on watercolour card and cut it down

I then added crackle paste through the stencil

I love the way the cracks appear once dry.

I die cut the birds from inky mop up card  adding some more distress ink to the edges. 

I then stamped and embossed the sentiment and matted it onto black card.

Here it is;

with a close up. 

My second card uses another stencil
Lupinus

winged things

and a sentiment from Party time

Once dry I added some blue gilding paste which you will see in the finished photos.

I stamped and gold embossed the dragonflies. I fussy cut them out and added blue Stickles Glue. 

Here is my finished card.

And a close up, showing all the texture and shine.
