Designs by Lisa Somerville: La-de-dah! Bloggers Challenge

Happy Bloggers Challenge Friday! Thanks to those who played along with the Halloween Challenge, the challenge this week is Stencils.

I still had the Dottie Stencil from Just a Trace on my desk, so I reached for that when working on my project this week, and went a little of of my comfort zone to play along with the Color Challenge at Stampotique, as I rarely use Purple in my projects.

I created the monoprint background using the Gelli Arts Plate, DecoArt Paint (Mixed Media Ultramarine Blue/American Multi Surface Satin Light Violet/Flamingo/Cottonball) and the Dottie Stencil.

I stamped the image on card stock and on scraps of the monoprinted background so that I could paper piece the image. I added a piece of old book note for added interest, stamped some flowers and added the sentiment that I had stamped on scraps of the background panel. All pieces were adhered with DecoArt Gel Medium, I used a STAEDTLER Fineliner to draw around the edge of the sentiment.

Details:
Stamps - Stampotique
Ink - Ranger Black Archival, Ranger Gathered Twigs Distress Ink
Card Stock - Black, Mixed Media, Vanilla, Pink
Other - DecoArt Gesso/Gel Medium/Mixed Media Paint Ultramarine Blue/American Multi Surface Satin Light Violet/Flamingo/Cottonball, Just a Trace Dottie Stencil, White Gel Pen, Old Book Note, Ink Blending Tool, Brayer, Gelli Arts Plate
