Today is the start of a new challenge over at Imagination Crafts and as always it is 'Anything Goes' and the winner gets a whopping £40 to spend on Imagination Craft goodies.
I used the fab Bubbles and Honeycomb Stencils to create the gorgeous backdrop for this page. I used the stencils as a positive and a negative to get a real varied effect. By this I mean I used distress ink through the stencils (positive) and I also used the ink that was left on the stencil, along with a little spritzed water, to then rub onto my page (negative).
I also used versamark straight onto my stencil and then rubbed this off onto my page, so that I had the negative effect on my card. I then added some sticky embossing powder to this and then once heated popped some gilding flakes on, I also used the Versamark through the stencil as a positive. I used some Imagination Crafts Gilding glue in random swipes across my page, so that I could add some random bits of gilding flakes.

I then popped on a couple of stamped images, some embellishments and some gilding wax around the edge to complete my page.
I have a video of the making of this page coming very soon!
