STAMPlorations Stencil Blog Hop

I'm participating in the STAMPlorations Stencil Blog Hop today.



I used the Holly Background stencil selectively to create this one. Geranium Red and Olive Green Ziggs were the only two colors used.

  • I simply wet the watercolor paper through the stencil with a brush 
  • then added the color, and watched the magic happen!

Prizes!!
  • FIVE (5) winners will be randomly drawn from comments left on the designers' blogs to each win their choice of 1 standard size ARTplorations stencil.
  • ONE (1) winner will be randomly drawn from comments left on this post (Day 1) to receive a $15 gift certificate to the STAMPlorations shop or her choice of 2 standard size ARTplorations stencils.
  • We've got extra prizes for those who participate in the Flash Stencil Project Linky Party (linky opens on December 9 and closes on December 13).

Check out what the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all our projects here.

Hope you take time to play with some stencils this week!

Thanks for stopping by!

I love the technique you used and will really have to try it. What a great way to get a hand painted effect without requiring many hours of practicing painting.
