Glitz Craft - Poppy Field

We have just had a long weekend and as it was raining yesterday I thought I would get into the craft room.  It has been a while since I used my Gelli plate and I had fun combining different coloured acrylic paints with stencils and stamps.

For this card I layered a couple of different coloured acrylic paints and then laid the Glitz Craft Poppy Field stencil on the top.  I thought I might try black acrylic paint on the roller for the poppies.  It did not work out exactly as I had hoped so when it was dry I laid the stencil over it again and used a black marker to finish off the poppies.

Glitz Craft - Puppy stencil

This photo is not the best but as we are moving house (again) I have already packed the card so cannot take a better picture.

The background paper is Creative Memories and the stencil, Glitz Craft Puppy, was stencilled using Distress Ink Vintage Photo and a stencil brush.  I also bought this stencil at the craft show I recently attended and I was amazed at the amount and variety of stencils available.  Perhaps the next time I use a stencil I will try the glitter frosting paste which I bought last year but have not used.

Glitz Craft - Santa Sleigh

I bought myself this stencil at a craft show earlier this year and decided to test it out on a scrap piece of paper.  This is only a part of the stencil - there is a village scene, stars and moon as well.

The stencil was inked using Distress Black Soot and my trusty Dream Weaver stencil brushes.  For a first attempt I was quite pleased.
