I took them away with me on a recent trip, and whilst my hubby attended a work conference, I played with the stencils and DecoArt Media Paint in the hotel room. I made a couple of master boards and, and here’s one of them…
I cut it into four pieces, and here’s a card that I’ve made with one quarter. I’ve used Prima Finnabair stamps. There’s some PaperArtsy Grunge Paste stencilled down one side too, with some Treasure Gold highlights.
My hands are a bit sore now (still weak with post viral debilitation), but it’s been so good to create something other than DT art.
I’m entering my card in the That’s Crafty! Stencils and Masks Challenge.
Happy Sunday to you all!
