This is for Ky's mixed media challenge - to finish a project using stencils. This has been a work in progress for several weeks, but thanks to Ky's challenge, it has an "end date".
I hate wasting paint as much as I hate cleaning stencils, so I always have a few journal pages on the go to accommodate all the left over paints, modelling paste and liquid inks.
Before I clean a stencil, I use it on these pages. My early efforts were all over the place like dogs breakfast, but I have learnt to keep the colours in happy, compatible groups - hence I have several pages on the go.
To finish this off, I added the long leafy stencil and touched up the colour with a Copic marker.
Thank you for looking and I hope you have a happy weekend.

I love the soft colours and texture in this, Susie, and the way the birds are in camouflage. But that leafy vine steals the show; all that shading makes it look dimensional, like some sort of ribbon trim. Wow.

This is ah-mazing Susie! I adore all the colors you achieved in this glorious art journal page. The texture is fantastic, especially in your birds, but it is this long gold leafy branch that really steals the show (for me!). I am beyond impressed with this Susie! ~Karen.
