Stencil Sunday October Challenge

Good afternoon all.

This is my second of three posts today...you can find my Christmas Card Club post here.

Another month gone by and it's time once again to inspire you for our October mixed media Stencil Sunday challenge at STAMPlorations. It was great to see so many entries in September. I have an ATC to share with you today.


Using the Bubbles stencil I coloured the bubbles with grape gelatos then used textured gel over the whole of the stencil. Once dry I inked the background with various distress inks and polished it up with a dry cloth. Grunge stamp is from the Mixed Media Grunge set and I used archival ink. The sentiments were stamped onto waste card and die cut with Spellbinders labels dies and inked with the same DI then attached with a brad. I added a few sequins to finish.


Challenges entered:
That Craft Place - mixed media anything goes
We Love 2 Create - anything mixed media/creative goes
Hop to Stop - purple (2nd entry)
