I've recently bought some stencils - a real bargain I found them on a FB craft selling site. This one is made by The Crafters Workshop and is called Mini Alhambra. I started off by just playing around with some Distress Inks by Tim Holtz on some Very Vanilla SU card stock. I wanted to use a sort of rich Moroccan palette so I opted for Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, Bundled Sage and Fossilized Amber, blending as we went along. I then went over these stencils with a Tim Holtz little dot stencil in Tattered Rose. I then used the same colour palette for the butterfly which is from Stampin Up's Watercolour Wings.
I then spotted a piece of the new SU card stock I had been gifted from a friend and it was just the colour I wanted for my background. It's called Noble Peacock Speciality DSP. I also used the same paper to cut out the Celebrate from SU . I still had some of the inked background left so I cut another celebrate out and layered them. I added some lovely shiny embellishments which shimmer blue and green when the light hits them and some Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to the butterfly.
I really liked working with the stencils and you may see some more as I bought six new ones!
