Yet Another Challenge 

Hello to you all! Hoping you have had a good day....
Just to warn you, it's very late & I am rather tired. So I may go on a bit (not like me at all of course).

I am entering another challenge. Yay!! My next personal one will be to get my entry in earlier than 2 hrs to go? It hasn't been a good day for uploading pictures is all I'll say. If it wasn't for my fave place, I may have let it pass me by. 

I also had problems with my canvas. Understatement! I won't bore you with it all.. "Phew!" I hear you cry....

The challenge is from Artist Trading Post & it is to use Crafter's Workshop stencils. Easy right? You would think so. I thought so when I began 2 weeks ago. Essentially my texture paste wasn't thick enough & so some can't be seen too well now. There are layers & layers & layers.... you get the idea.... of acrylic paint, inks, gelatos & gesso (some to redo certain areas). Anyway, for the stenciling, I switched to embossing paste for some parts & used acrylic black paint for others. The only other things to tell you (the pictures are self explanatory ) is there is glossy accents over my butterflies. Hope you can see it, I did like how colours underneath intensified. The cherubs are from a beautiful napkin.

The other challenge, for me, is to link to stencils I used. I have decided to show pictures (quite a few. I luurvve texture). I will then put links underneath. I hope, lol....

I should also add this was not as I had planned but creativity takes us in different directions, doesn't it?.

There are more pics but don't want to bombard you. As you can tell is some stenciled areas are less pronounced. I quite like that!? 

The 2 stencils I used are Mini Layered Beads (Balzer Designs) & Mini Butterfly Collage (TCW).

You can find them here & here. 

I do hope you enjoyed my ramblings & my canvas. I should end by explaining, the lightbulb is an ironic symbol. I missed that "lightbulb" moment? It made sense in my "mixed up" head.....

Thank you so much, please leave a comment, I do so enjoy reading your thoughts!! Until next time, take care x
