Stencil Fun Challenge January I chose the optional theme of Birds (1/3)

Triple B Challenge January moodboard or Anything Goes (2/3)

It was my first time using one of these sets.  I started by die cutting the shape from watercolour card.  I used each of the separate stencils to add the different colours of Distress inks to the birds, flowers, leaves and vines.  Once coloured I used watercolour paints to colour the white background a deep blue.  Once it had dried I put in the embossing folder and ran it through my die cutter.  Using a Clarity stencil I create a background of blue flowers using only Distress inks.  I used a Penny Black stamp to stamp a greeting onto a scrap of card and added my usual final touch of Nuvo Drops.  Back soon x
