The Eyes have it at Countryview Challenges

Hello there! Well its the first of March - amazing really - how does time pass so quickly! That means its time for a new challenge at Countryview Crafts - the theme this month is ...The Eyes have it. I love the theme - it gave me the chance to play with a visible image stamp set and stencil.


Not my usual kind of make - but I did have fun doing it! I used the face-it stamp set and stencil-set---face-shape. I started making a distress oxide background with tattered rose, antique linen and spun sugar. Then I used the mask outer and tattered rose to create the face shape. I used the face inner to then cover the face whilst I used another stencil to create the outside. Next I stamped the eyes, nose and mouth. I then added some purple luscious powder to the eyes and painted the eyes using indigoblu paints. Finally I added the added the veil - the idea was to draw more attention to the eyes.

I hope you can join our challenge this month! You can get more inspiration and link up here.

Big hugs
