Belief in a bright future

Two more kraft cards for my box of ten... This time I decided to go for the Unrulypaperarts readers art quest prompt (Animal Instincts) and colours (grey with a splash). I am also posting for the Country View challenge (Kraft) and the SimonSaysStamp Monday challenge (A is for... Animals).

I cut some cream silk card (from Crafty Individuals) into squares, stamped the images (also CI) with Archival Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I just love all the detail that paper gives to the image, ink doesn't seem to make such a difference! I dabbed Black Soot from the Distress Inks on an acrylic block, diluted it and used a waterbrush to colour my "black and white photos"... and then a dab of colour just to make it pop. Mounting on a kraft card gives a cool frame, no more layers needed!
