My Favourite Stencil

 Something totally different from me today...a stencil.


I have the total sum of two stencils in my stash ( I have used my other one here!) and this is my favourite floral one!! It was a magazine freebie a very long time ago and has survived the stash cull on a number of occasions. Looks like I was right to put it in the "might use one day" drawer!! I used distress inks for the colour and although I was reasonably pleased with the shading just felt that it needed a little something. That turned out to be another item from the same drawer, a can of pearl spray from here. I think the black frame works rather well together with the LOTV sentiment.

That's all for now. Have a good weekend when it arrives xx

Two... oh my, really just two? Well you did an amazing job with the one you chose. I love the effect you've achieved especially daring to use the pearl spray, I would have this framed and hung, its very classy x

I have a total of 2 too, and they both stayed when I sent all my stuff to charity, thinking I will use them one day, I am not sure what day :0)))

I love this though it is so very pretty, hugs Pops x
