Time Out #57 'May All your weeds be wild flowers' & CASology #198 Stencil

 

I haven't been in my craft room to create all week and I was really ready to be here.

When I saw the topic on Time Out, I knew exactly what I wanted to use.

'May All your weeds be wild flowers'

 

  I just saw that I can also enter this into CASology

This Lisa Johnson stencil called Peaceful Wildflowers.  Of course the stencil isn't like pictured here so I had to cover up some images as I sponged the ones I wanted then turn the stencil upside down to get others.  And of course I tried other methods, like my Brushos and Zig pens to watercolor and did not have much luck with them.  Loll made a beautiful background with a stencil and her Brushos, but mine did not turn out like hers.

Anyway this is it and I used Distress Inks to sponge on then because they were so plain tried to add some details by hand, which is not good since I can't even draw stick people.  Also put some white Perfect Pearls on the flowers which is hard to see in the photo.

Used some PTI vellum and embossed with Liquid Platinum and some embroidery thread.

Thanks for stopping by.

OLCC Day 8 - Laura Bassen's technique - Using a stencil guide to paint

My card using Laura's technique.  I did not use a die but actually already had a stencil from MFT, Peaceful Wildflowers,

Watercolors on PTI's Melon Berry cardstock and pattern paper and Edger Die

3 little pearls.  Like Laura I don't always know where to put the pearls, except that most of the time I am usually trying to cover up a mark which is the case with this one.

Unfortunately, this card will be sent to a former co-worker of mine whose wife passed away suddenly yesterday.  They are in their 50's, much too young....
