Stencil in blues.



Hi everyone, have you had a chance to play along with the CAS Stencil card challenge yet this month?
Our host is Robyn and she has chosen sprays to try with stencils. They can be any type of sprays or spritzes! This is a fun technique, so I hope you can play along.



I chose 3 shades of blue distress oxide sprays and the Tim Holtz stripes stencil. There is more variation in the colour in real life, but it's a bit hard to see in the pic.

I diecut one of the Tim Holtz wildflowers and cut it up to fit the circle window. I inked the pieces with versamark and embossed with blue lapis pearl powder.
Here's a closer look.



I'm linking up to these challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday where the theme is midsummer blues.

Thanks for visiting,
