Stencil Fun!

Hi everyone! The sun is still shining here, although a little cooler than last week.
I have been playing with my stencils for our new theme at Try It On Tuesday - Have Fun With Stencils and I think the Design Team have had fun too - such brilliant inspiration - do take a look here!

Once again I got into the moment and totally forgot to show how I built up the layers....

...although it's probably not too difficult to see that I started with pale colours - by putting ink on my stencil and spritzing it to make a 'stamp' and used darker colours in the later stages.
I used two of my favourite Aall and Create stencils throughout and as I had decided that I wanted to use these white flowers designed by Tracy Evans I wanted to keep some white in the background.
The touches of turquoise are a happy accident, there must have been some ink still on the stencil!
I added random stamping to reflect the stencils and then added some opaque texture paste randomly to change the colours slightly as well as add texture.

The flowers were fussy cut and coloured and the words were from the same set and another of Tracy's sets.
All the flowers were then outlined in water soluble pencil and brushed with a water brush and I drew in pen lines around the words.

As usual our challenge runs for two weeks - the rules and conditions are here - I do hope you will join in the stencil fun at TIOT this time.

I am also linking my page to Art Journal Journey and Valerie's 'Geometric Shapes' theme.

Thanks for looking, Chris
