Back to stencil paint

 This takes me back - stencilling!  It's been a long time since I did any of this, but I saw these templates at the NEC and bought some stencils, stencil paint and some 3D paste. 

This is my first attempt, so it's not perfect, but I like the effect and will keep going to get it right.  I used a digi download for the background. I think it has just the right subtle look.

Below is a close up to try and let you see the raised, textured look it has.


And for the one below, I used just black stencil paint onto gold mirror card (very difficult to photograph).  Both cards were great fun to do.

I think they both look better IRL, but I thought I'd share them with you.



I'm going to enter both of these into the thesecretcraftersaturdaychallenge which has a theme of 'Our feathered friends'.
