Use Your Favorite Technique

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  LOOK TO THE NIGHT SKY Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

Since it is the first week of the month, we are showcasing the products from Dylusions created by the very imaginative Dyan Reaveley. 

Please join me in welcoming Rox of Red Dirt Crafter, who is our guest designer this month. I know you will enjoy her creative style!

 

This week the challenge is: USE YOUR FAVORITE TECHNIQUE

Write your own ART story! 

Where do I start with my favorite techniques?? I do have many. I chose a couple for this week - Stenciling and Layering Color.

I began in my art journal with a rainbow array of watercolor.  

 Next, I went in with a couple of Dylusions stencils and a baby wipe and removed color. I call this Subtractive Stenciling.

Once this layer dried, I next went back in with the stencil and white paint, and stenciled some areas.  

I collaged on some Seth Apter Printed Tissue paper.  

Then, I cut out shapes from paper I printed from my stash, into flowers..  

I went over the flower shapes with black marker to make them stand out.
