Dylusions and Stencilling

Something a little different today! I bought some Dylusions sprays a while back and decided to have a play with some backgrounds. Not sure this is how they are supposed to be used - but going on a workshop soon with Brenda Brown / Country View Crafts - so hopefully my technique will improve!!!

Also wanted to have a play with a relatively new Crafters Workshop stencil - so here is my colourful tag.

I would like to tag along with:

Country View Crafts Challenge - Nature's Glory
Simon Says Stamp Monday - Botanical
Eclectic Paperie's - EPlay - Get Stenciled
The Artistic Stamper - In the Garden
Make my Monday - Nature


Thanks for looking
Nikki

  2. I think it's gorgeous, Nikki - and I don't think there should be any "supposed to be" about it - what you create is what you create - and I absolutely love how the Dylusions look here (and I don't always!). You could pop it In The Garden over at The Artistic Stamper too...
