Time already for another WOYWW - and indeed Julia has published early as she's off out and about early doors on Wednesday.. I stopped by for the link to find it's already Wednesday in Dunnit-land...
I have splurged again this week.... can't resist a stencil, and when they are designed for Stencil Girl by Seth Apter... well... what's a girl to do..
I'll make it a big photo so you can see nicely! lots of Seth magic, mark-making favourites...
oh, and one of Alison Bomber's Paperartsy stamps launched a couple of weeks ago fell in too...
first off I played with the Dogwood Blossom stencil (not, you'll realise, one of Seth's!!)
I had to search out a large enough piece of paper to get the whole image in... found a pad of newsprint paper gathering dust over yonder by the radiator.... perfick!
I used a make-up sponge (Primark specials) and 3 shades of Distress Oxide, including, topically given Julia used it last week, the pale Spun Sugar, attempting some shading with Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry. and a splodge or two of Seedless Preserves which is a more purpley ink.
Had to trim it quite hard to fit it onto a journal page.
I intend to stencil some more of the flowers and layer them over the background. eventually!
then it was time for Seth.... I used a variety of Versafine Clair inks this time and several of his stencils but it's not progressed since this stage....
still it was a fun hour on Sunday morning...
the Broad Walk has huge drifts of echinacea and rudbeckia and i love them...
we've had some cracking sunsets the last few evenings too, though i can't see a lot of it from my bedroom window -- too built up, but
Sunday
Monday
Tuesday - loved the way the rays shone through the cloud
ok that's me done, Happy WOYWW and I'll see you soon -
thanks for dropping by!
