Stencil Fun

 

Hello Monday my friends! Welcome back to this week's challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - FUN WITH STENCILS! I will admit that stencils are one of my all time favorite tools for mixed media. I have a very large collection of stencils that just seems to keep growing. They are so versatile, don't take up much space, and are fantastic for layering.

I'm sharing a tag book I made, inspired by mixed media artist Marjie Kemper.

Let's start the backgrounds with a rainbow array of colors. I used blending tools and inks to create a colorful base.

Then, I used stamps, stencils, punches and washi tape to create a fun little tag book.

Now it's your turn to get your stencils out and create! Be sure to share with us, as we love to pick out favorites to spotlight, and our generous friends at Simon Says Stamp are offering a $25 shopping voucher to one of you.
