Yesterday we used the Crafter's Companion layering stencils. I had the Timeless Lilies and the Perfect Peonies stencils. Both were easy to use but with the Lilies stencil I got a better finish by using the stencils in a different order than suggested. I used a mixture of Distress Inks, Distress Oxides and Izinks. My hands looked like I'd had a wonderful time when the class finished. Happy Days indeed.
After the class in the evening I had a rather boring Zoom meeting to attend, so continued stencilling through it as a displacement activity whilst listening to a lot of boring speakers. I reached up to the shelf in front of me for my Peeled Paint Distress ink and pulled the whole unit and 64 inks down with an almighty clatter. I certainly had everyone's attention. Whoops!
I haven't added sentiments to the Lily cards yet as I'm waiting to see what I use them for.
Beautiful cards. I especially love the lily ones, so pretty. xx
ReplyDeleteStunning cards Karen, I especially love the lilies. I've got these stencils and not used the yet, this might be the nudge that I need to get them out.

A fabulous collection of cards Karen, I rarely use stencils - you have inspired me to get mine out.

I had to laugh about the incident in your meeting - just the kind of thing I would do. I'm very tempted by the Maximum Crafts workshop - I might just join in the July one. Wouldn't it be funny to meet up via Zoom all these years after last seeing each other?
