Stencil Fun
Good morning to you all on this first day of May! I have no dancing around the Maypole for you but I have had fun in my art journal using stencils for our new challenge at Country View Challenges and I shall be sending you off on a blog hop at the end of the post so that you have the chance to win a fabulous prize from Country View Crafts.
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 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.
I hope this inspires you to join us in our challenge this month where your entry will be entered into our £20 Voucher draw. However, in addition, running alongside our challenge, we are also running a Blog Hop with a Sissiz Big Shot Machine and Die Bundle as the prize. How brilliant is that! To enter you must be a follower of our challenge blog and hop along to each of our Design Team Members Blogs and leave a comment.
