Using Stencils at TIOT

We have a new theme 'Use a Stencil or two' at Try It On Tuesday and we are inviting you to use your stencils in any way you wish! If you don't have any stencils you could use sequin waste or netting to create a similar effect! I have often stencilled through die cuts to suit a theme.

 You will see the many ways that the Design Team have used their stencils if you take a look here!

 I have loved Angie Lewin's prints for many years so decided to try the style myself but by using stencils.
I roughly brayered a background in one of my larger journals and then dabbed paint through some small stencils before adding larger Dina Wakley stencils and a Paper Artsy leaf one using different green Fresco paints! I also added a black umbel one but no name to be found and a delicate Kay Carley one! I added some stamped grasses and some doodled ones.

 I do hope you will join us, the challenge runs for two weeks, please mention and link to the TIOT blog.

 Thanks for looking, Chris

    Wow, what a beautiful page! Your pretty scene looks amazing and I love how you built up the layers of stencilling 😁. You must have so much patience to keep the stencilling so neat and crisp, unlike me ...lol 😉. Creative hugs and wishes! J 😊 x

    Wonderful range of colours here, Chris and the images are wonderful, especially the delicate ones :-) They're such a contrast to the bold stencilling. Beautiful.

    A fabulous page Chris, love how you've layered up the bold stencils in the various greens, a great backdrop for the delicate stencilling.

    You certainly put all those stencils to good use, dear Chris. This is utterly fantastic. I was so surprised that all those were stencils. Knowing your love of stamping, I was so impressed with all the stencils you chose to use.

    There's definitely something very evocative about this style and colours. The layered plants give the impression of a wonderful garden with depths to explore - a lovely page.
