Stencils Galore!

Well, it's time for a break.  I've been rather busy doing some work around the house this week, and today it was cleanup time.  Sanding and varnishing....that dust gets everywhere!  I managed to get it finished during a break in the weather where I could have the windows open.  Definitely smelly stuff!


I had a good play with some stencils....four of them actually!  Although most of the work is with distress inks, for the flowers I've used an embossing paste.  This gives some added dimension, plus when it was still wet, I sprinkled some glitter.  Something quite different for me, but it sure was fun!  Just a sentiment stamp and a rub-on butterfly to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you're having a wonderful summer, and maybe even some crafty fun!
