Using stencils 2 for Country View Crafts

 Stencils and distress watercolor pencils go well together.

I used a simple method with dry DWPs on a dry stencil, then spritzed it with water ready to monoprint. It's a fabulous technique and you can get a different effect each time depending on how much colour you rub onto the stencil, how much water you spritz and how long you hold the stencil on the paper. A GREAT TIP here is to place a piece of kitchen paper over the stencil once you have laid it down, rub gently over it and it will soak up any of the watery paint that seeps out.

I added the new Tim Holtz collage strips to the base card to start me off.

Gathered bits of ephemera, snippets and a photo booth pic which I encased in a specimen slide cut from TH specimen dies. After some playing and moving around the collage came together with the stencil panel in full show.
