Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at JUGS - Just Us Girls where I am honoured to be the guest designer this month!
The theme is use a stencil and the design team have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.
I've been playing with stencils and crackle paste or glitter paste recently but thought I'd use texture paste for a change. I watched some of Tim Holtz's demo videos and tried a few things for fun!
This card uses a bright and bold panel spritzed with a few distress stains.
It felt a bit flat so I spritzed on glimmer mist for some shimmer, some of it is sitting in the nooks and crannies.

Needed some butterflies to cover up some blotches and used a new to me vine diecut in black as well to tone it down a bit lol!
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday, spritz and splatter
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday, Summertime blues, I've gone with the add colour option.
Happy Little Stampers stencil challenge

Beautiful colors used together and the texture is lovely. I love the vine and great way you covered up the oops. The shine really shows through.

Love your shimmery stencilled background Cathy. Just gorgeous. Flourish in black is a real stand out with the black matting.
