Hello and welcome! This marks my fourth and final post as guest designer with Just Us Girls. It's been fun and the team has been very gracious. Before I forget, I'd like to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends as we all observe the day. Things aren't always perfect, but there's generally something to be thankful for.
Today the prompt is "anything goes with a stencil".
I don't often remember to use my stencils, but I sure enjoy them when the time comes. In this case I intended to go very light with the retired (?) SU River Rock ink, matching the River Rock cardstock. If any of you have this color, you know it's a very soft, gentle green, almost a neutral -- not the near neon it appears in the photo. My camera goes a little wonky with anything that has a yellow undertone.
In real life it made a nice background for my Penny Black Poinsettia Trio which was stamped in the same River Rock. The lines were nicely visible long enough for me to color, and then they obligingly disappeared. Copics did the job on Strathmore Vellum Surface Mixed Media paper, with some of the fine lines and details added courtesy of the skinny tip of a Tombow marker. The poinsettia pot rests on a sweep of Penny Black's Graceful Holly, with gold accents to finish.
How about you and your stencils joining the JUGS team for a little play this week? It's been fun for me!
Thank you all for your time. Have a lovely day!
