Frilly and Funkie - Stencils

Hello Everyone!

It's time for another wonderful challenge over at Frilly and Funkie! This time Sue is our lovely hostess and she has chosen the theme STENCILS. She would like you to create a shabby chic or vintage style project and make sure to use stencils, the more the better. One lucky winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Linda's shop The Funkie Junkie Boutique!

For the very back layer, I thought I would try a new technique and I just love how it turned out, but it ended up getting mostly covered up. I thought I would share the piece of scrap paper with my tester on it, so you can see how beautiful it looks. I call it Faux Embroidery.

I used the Tim Holtz Lace stencil and applied Perfect Medium over the surface. Then I placed my card stock on top of it and using my brayer, lightly rolled over the entire thing. I applied some Ranger clear embossing powder and heat dried it. Then some Abandoned Coral distress spray and after it dries, wipe off with a cloth. Isn't it a wonderful pattern?

For the top layer, I used the Tim Holtz Flourish stencil and then covered the texture paste with Ranger Weathered White Antiquities powder. Some Abandoned Coral ink spray and a touch of Picket Fence.

The ribbon was coloured with Tim Holtz Wild Honey and Abandoned Coral ink pads. The flowers were cut with Sizzix Tattered Florals and I applied some white embossing powder and Walnut Stain ink spray to give it an antique look.

For the golden yellow layer, I used the Latticework stencil from Tim Holtz and spritzed distress stains Scattered Straw and Wild Honey directly through the stencil.

The leaves were made with the Wendy Vecchi 3 Flourishes stencil. I applied the paste onto a white piece of card stock and let it dry. I fussy cut around the paste design and then spritzed with Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint distress ink. Dabbed on a little Picket Fence.

The flower sprig stamp is from Graphic 45 called Time to Flourish. I stamped it with Ranger Archival ink Coffee and coloured it with distress stains Wild Honey and Peeled Paint and then fussy cut it out. The butterflies are from the stamp set French Flight.
