Chris is our host this month and she is challenging us to Use A Stencil in our projects but if you are like me you might want to use more than one!
I gathered some inks, actually quite randomly, but I quite like stacking them to get an idea of how the colours might look together.
I used the Wrinkle Free Distress Technique to get the ink on the pages - not easy with a book but it's just one of those things you have to go with what you get !!
I gathered a few stencils.
I blended the same inks through the stencils and then added texture paste through the text stencil once everything had dried.
Next I added some stamping using Cobalt Blue Archival Ink and a selection of stamps.
I then gathered a few bits and pieces from my scrap box.
I am never too sure at this stage whether I will use them all but it is nice to have a selection to play around with.
I decided to keep the embellishments simple on the left hand page .......
........ and a heavier collage on the right.
A bright mix of colours but by using stencils I have managed to blend them together.

Lovely pages Jennie and I love how you still ended up with a fairly subtle background from which your collaged elements really pop inspite of it being quite busy. Very clever and lots of lovely interest.

Beautifull subtle background! I love the blue archival ink! I'll put that on my- I want list! The layering of stencils is perfect! Love the overall effect!
Jennie, I think your colors look wonderful together, and looks as if they were all carefully chosen! The stencil work is just beautiful and so perfectly balanced. Speaking of balance, the darker tones of your scraps/pieces lend a perfect balance to the light delicate look of your background!You are so talented and such an inspiration! Hugs!
Brilliant project. All the elements go so well together. x

Love the way you use colours soft and subtle
This is a fabulous piece Jennie. I'm a great fan of Tim Holtz stencils but I only have a couple at the moment. I like you way of choosing the colours by stacking them together, I'll definitely be doing that next time I make something. Love your colours and composition :) x
Love the combination of stencils you used. Great textures and colours. Love the ink tip. Hugz
