pastels at stamps and stencils

Hello there! How are you? Another new challenge for you today - this time at stamps and stencils! The theme this month has been provided by Cec who has this to say...

Pastels - We have been treated to a riot of bright, warm colour since the spring bulbs made their appearance and continuing throughout summer and fall so let's go in the opposite direction and make a project with soft, pastel colours.  Don't forget to include some stamping or stenciling or both in your creation.

Here's what I have done!

In this piece I used a gelli background that I already had and added stencilling and stamping.

Here's the gelli background I used ....I created this using acrylic paints and a stencil from Clarity. I  thought this reminded me of the sea and the project developed from there...

I used another Clarity stencil and created these sea birds above the waves.

Finally I added a stamped image from Crafters Individuals coloured in distress inks - pastel shades of course!

I hope you can join us! You can get some inspiration from my teamies and link up here.

Hugs
