Horse, Foal, and Three Shades of Green

For one of my sister's birthday at the end of the month:

I really love a recent Eileen Godwin technique for creating a geometric background with stencilling over it.  See her video here for instructions.

I used three different green Distress inks and sponged them away from a straight edged spreader, turning the spreader each time for a different angle.  Once it was dry, I laid a leaf stencil over it and stencilled with one of the greens.  And once that was dry, I put it in my MISTI and stamped the Lavinia horse and foal image and the sentiment.  Trimmed the panel, bordered with black, and popped up on fun foam.

I'm linking it up with the following challenges:
