For my challenge all in, I took an old stamp set. My challenge is to use all the stamps in a set. The set I used I have had for almost 20 years. I masked and stamped the flowers and butterflies onto a mono printed page that used an ARTplorations stencil called Placid. I love this stencil because it looks like waves or grass depending on the color of paint and orientation of the stencil. After I stamped the images i colored them with kingsart gel sticks. I blended them with a paper towel. I hand lettered the sentiment. about 3 years ago I started working on my lettering. When I started I hated my writing, I progressed to drawing my letters with a pencil and then tracing with a marker. Now I am at a point, having practiced every day that I can write without having to use a pencil first. My encouragement to you is if there is something you want to learn how to do, just start somewhere and keep practicing. You can do it.

It's funny, because when I read your write-up I can see why you say waves or grass - but in fact, even with the flowers, what I see is seaweed , and I loved the combination of that with the flowers and butterflies.
