I started with a blank 8 inch square canvas and added some grungepaste stars through a TH layering stencil down either side. Next I gave everything a base coat of blue acrylic paint - when dry I stencilled using blueprint sketch all over using a Dina Wakley mosaic and swirls stencil.
Next step was to add some sentiment stamping in various shades of blue archival. The stamps were from Dina Wakley - the collage heart set.
I stamped the silhouette lady and hearts on card then fussy cut them.
I added silver pebeo gilding wax to the stars then added the fussy cut images to complete the canvas.
I hope you'll be able to join in with us over at stampsandstencils.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
anythingbutcutechallenge-9-ring-out-old-bring-in-new - my heart stamps are new as is the mosaic stencil.
allsortschallenge week-344-whats-new - stamps and a stencil.
