This challenge - #7

ANYTHING GOES with optional twist STENCILLING

This is my inspiration project for you.

Well this was completely out of my comfort zone! But I really enjoyed this project!

I took an A4 piece of black card and cut it in half and used one half to mat the front of my card.

I had recently bought some Dawn Bibby stencils, have no idea why as mixed media is not really my thing. But there it is, they were in my stash and needed to be used at least once.

I took some white Gesso and thinned it down a little with some water then used a spatula to spread it over the stencil. This was the result. You can't see very well but I put some drops of Nuvo Pearl Drops on the 'tail' bits and some glitter on the 'leaves'. I think it turned out quite well!

Hope you like what I did and it will inspire you to join in with our challenge.

Remember its an 'Anything Goes' challenge and the 'twist' is always optional but please do try the option in your project.
Thank you for stopping by today!
I sure appreciate all your visits.

Happy crafting!
