Not sure why but when I saw the sketch I've used for this card I wanted to see if it would work as a one layer card using nothing but ink & a stencil/mask to create the pattern blocks.
1 week later and I still cant find where I've put my box of masks so instead I created paper ones and got out a few stamps I havent played with for a long time (ever with the dandelion fluff lol)
Using from back to front, frayed burlap, gathered twig & walnut stain ink. With hindsight I should have blotted the gathered twig and used the 2nd generation ink rather than pure as it's a bit too dark.
2 background stamps are ones I bought from Stampsandmemories a year (ok 2) ago and I think the dandelion is from Lavinia Stamps but I cant swear to it. Sentiment is from SU and I used one of my new spellbinder dies to create the tag for it to sit on. Matted on to dark brown stardream and a cream card blank. Sketch and Stash where I got the sketch from has a lot to answer to as I then went on to try with a few other sketches, masks and the same inks & card lol. Barely made a card all year and now I've done 3 in less than 24hrs! Hopefully Sandra, Lorrs & Jackie wont be reading this seeing as it's their bdays this month ;o)

This is stunning Sue! Love how you've managed the sketch with just one layer and only inks!! Thanks for joining us at Sketch N Stash this time around, Juliex
Oh! My! Word! this is so beautiful, I am not a stamper but this could certainly make me want to be.
