Maybe I should have stayed in bed this morning....
This is the first time I've used this stencil called flowers and leaves. When I bought it, I saw strawberries. But when I plunked it down today, I saw that I had no idea what to do with this. It actually seemed more like a mask than a stencil. Sigh. So what I ended up doing was sponging some white pigment through the stencil, then coloring over that. Then I decided to outline the stencil with black pen, then I doodled a bit. Stamped the sentiment, yes, the words didn't show up very well with that planting bed behind it so I used a reddish brown Micron pen to bring out the words. Otherwise everything else went well. Sigh again. Those look like bananas at the bottom...they're not. And what to do with the thing in the upper left? A flower?? Well, I still see strawberries and the CAS is berries so why not?! What could go wrong? Weird thing is, I don't hate this. Maybe I'll look the stencil up and see what others have done with it.
