Still Looking Forward to Crafting Along With Barbara

Another item which will be used on 17th February (2pm - 4pm) on Hochanda, when you can craft along with Barbara Gray, is the Bird Heart Sprig stencil.  Barbara will be sharing four projects using the stamps, stencil, die and Groovi plate.  This is what I made with the stencil.  I look forward to making Barbara's project.

I started by blending Cotton Candy Artistry ink through the stencil onto a piece of 7" x 7" stencil card.

I then added Lush Lilac onto a6” x 6” gelli plate, pressed the stencil down to pick up ink, laid it back onto the card and ran it through my e-bosser.

I painted the bird and heart outline with Indian Jamun ink and a water brush.

I painted the flowers with Lush Lilac and went over the rest of the stencil image with Lavender Dash and a water brush.  Next I trimmed the edges and darkened them with Indian Jamun ink.  I also added 'Thank You, from the Mini Word Chains 17 & 18 in Indian Jamun ink.

Finally, I matted the topper onto the back of Rainbow River Designer Paper, trimmed it back and added it onto a 7" x 7" card blank.
