I then laid the mesh, diamond shape-wise on the page and squashed some more grunge paste through it..
I then took the Roman Letters stencil again. and cobalt archival ink. I did this sparingly.
Took an alphabet stamp set and wrote out A Little Bird Told Me.
Thank goodness for baby wipes, because my 'B' is mounted the wrong way round on the peg (and though I have written on the stamp to show which way up to use it, I didn't look this time...) Luckily I was quick enough to get it off before the archival ink dried on the painted surface..!
... a pair of little love birds!

Isn't it a pain when you do that with letters!I'm really challenged about imagining words or letters backwards! You wouldn't know that anything had gone amiss, though, thanks to your quick reaction. I like the little birds facing each other against this textured backdrop. x
Love that lovely aqua colour.
Last weekend and I don't usually mind too much because it means more outdoors, but with this weather what one earth to do with no footie.

Beautiful colurs Helen and the birds are great...that mesh looks fab...need to try this :D
Oh I did an online survey today to find out what colour I am - apparently I'm turquoise - so I'm loving your page!
Great effects Helen, another technique on my 'to do' list! x
I've had that same problem before with stencils getting turned upside down. It's hard to correct unless you catch them in time, which obviously, you did.
Love the texture of the mesh and I adore the two facing love birds.
Delicious brightly coloured version of your cute bird... the mesh gives such great texture!
