Artful Times Mask/stencil

Hello Everyone we have warmer and brighter weather today though as I write this it is clouding over already.

I scheduled a long post for weeks ahead and my Internet went off and I hadn't noticed that the post wasn't scheduled properly so you may have got it in your blog roll and wonder what I am playing at. It did tell me that errors may occur because of the Internet failure but it seems to happen so often recently that I ignored it. I will make sure I reread everything in future--I say this now but I bet I won't.

So back to the this post which is my entry for the challenge at Artful Times this fortnight.

The theme is masks, stencils or both

This is the back page of a book that is part of a swap with 3 other people--we all do three pages for each person and our own back, front and one other page.

I painted the page with two coats of different coloured emulsion paint then used Distressed Stain and Distressed Ink to make the background after using some die cut flowers as a mask so the emulsions shows then used a cut out swirl as a mask  before finally adding the Imagination Crafts Stencil Template which was just the right size for the page

Just thought I would add the die cut flowers as they were already quite inky.

Thanks for popping by

Love Chrissie xx
