A new month and a new theme at Country View Crafts Challenges and it's "Stencil it"! I knew I wanted to make a hanging as a change from the journalling I've been doing lately and so I reached for a new 'waiting to be used' stencil designed by Finnabair and was really taken with the packaging!
So I simply cut off the top and used Grunge Paste through the stencil like this (oh! I also added leaves from a Wendy Vecchi stencil:
I then added layers of paint, all PaperArtsy Frescos, even mixing a green:
The centre of the flower needed 'something' so I found a Lynne Perrella face that fitted and did my much used stamping onto tissue paper and cut to fit.
A little background stamping and some idea-ology to finish it off! For stability I mounted it on to a piece of cardboard that I'd painted black and it was ready to hang! I hope you'll join in with us this month!
Love this!! The colours are fab. I agree about the packaging from Finn's stencils but keep mine in the packet so will have to decide if I want to use it...
