New stuff always wins out!

The Craft Stamper challenge for February is to use stencils - but - I was also rather impatient to try my new Paper Artsy stamps, so decided to combine the two!

Started with a large sheet of canvas and lightly brayered it using some of the pastel-toned Fresco paints, then I took about 5 different stencils and used them a bit randomly over the whole piece using some Fresco mid-tones.

Using this particular canvas as a background means colours can be slightly muted but with great texture.

I then cut it up to make a couple of card backgrounds, and got stamping!

Just love this flower - it is stamped onto a piece of Brusho painted card, and the stem is on a piece from a Gelli print.

I just had to use the same stamp again - but I did add a little extra with my Sharpie white pen!

So for the second card the flower head was stamped onto a piece of Yupo paper covered with alcohol inks,and the stem stamped onto a piece of sheet music that had been coloured with ..... I know not what!








Still got quite a bit of the canvas left, so that is in the random art bits box - you never know when it will resurface!
