This month's challenge is hosted by Hilary (fiddling about). She would like us to try ...
We are also happy to have Greta (GG Creations) as our Guest Designer. Welcome Greta!
This technique is out of my comfort zone, but it's something I'm keen to learn. I had lots of fun making my stenciled panel, but I definitely need lots of practice. :)
I started with a stencil monoprint from my stash, done with Lindy's magical powders and a Mini Tiny Circles stencil from TCW (one of my most used stencils!). Placed a second stencil overtop and sponged with gold ink. Mounted my panel behind a card front die-cut with a stitched square (gift from my sweet friend, Bonnie). Added a white die-cut flower and gold stamped sentiment to finish.

I hope you'll come join us for this fun challenge.
