Here's What I Did:

I started with a piece of white mixed media card, you could use any thick white uncoated card, and randomly coloured using an ink blending tool, the section I was going to stencil over, with a selection of Distress inks. 

Once the Distress inks were dry helped by a blast with a heat gun I stencilled through the 13arts stencil with That's Crafty! 3D Gloss Gel Medium and left it to dry overnight, it doesn't take that long to dry but this card was made taking stolen moments from my current busy schedule. 

I then covered the entire piece of card with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink (this makes the face really stand out) for a little more interest to the black I splashed on water and removed a little of the colour. Onto the black space I stamped the circles using Versamark ink and applied white embossing powder and heat embossed. I added a strip of washi tape from my stash and then stamped out my sentiment onto a piece of white card, cut out and added to the card. All was then mounted onto black card and added to a DL card blank.
