I hope you will join me for today's TLC: faded water stenciling. This technique was created by Dina not too long ago; anytime I can do a technique with a stencil, I am drawn to it. This stencil is called chunky sweater, which I didn't know when I ordered it. I liked it because it looked organic.
I didn't want to cover up much of the stenciling so I used one image and very fun sentiment that I have been chomping at the bit to use. I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and hard place: to eat or not to eat, that is the question. One word of advice: use a fairly intense color at the top. The photo really doesn't show the stenciling very well so I'll try to get a better picture tomorrow. A few sequins finishes it off.
I hope you enjoy this easy technique. Don't forget to link your card in the challenge thread, since the galleries aren't populating very quickly.

fun, fun, fun all around...would you believe I am chewing as I type this...what a fun sentiment...what a misnomer regarding the naming of your stencil...and Dina W's figures are cool. But I can see that stencil fade and it was a fun technique. Sequins were the perfect touch.
waiting for my fade to dry...

I believe I qualify for that definition ~ walk the dog three times a day but too much Covid eating, ugh! I love your image, sentiment and cool stencil. This is a new technique to me; can't wait to try it!

Fun card and I laughed as soon as it popped on the screen. Since "Fitish" isn't a recognized word, I really think you should submit it for inclusion in next year's dictionary because it fits a lot of us these days. LOL. Great colors and love the DW stamp too.
