Stencils/die cuts or both


The new challenge theme over at Try it on Tuesdays is.....
Stencils/Die Cuts or Both.
Please call over to TioT's to see how we all interpreted the theme
 and we hope you will join us there.


This photo shows the double journal spread the base was sprinkled with brusho powder and left mainly white, with a few leaf stamps.
The butterflies were fussy cut.

The flowers and foliage  are TH stencils and die cuts. I used one of his stencils on the left side of the spread, simply shading with distress inks.




After the photos were taken, I couldn't resist adding   a few digital layers to the left corner, this  image of the little girl reading made me think of how children read and discover nature around them.


Thank you for calling in to see me today you are all always welcome here.


I will also join in with friends over at
Art Journal Journey
where Jo  from Lets art Journal is hosting the theme for May.....
Flora and Fauna

  14. Delightful wildflower scene with those die cuts of flowers / butterflies, I would love to be sitting in a lavender field reading ( check out the plateau de valensole) but even outside would be a good thing given that it is pouring down with rain here today!

  20. I'm running so far behind, I'm not sure I'll ever catch up, but I want you to know how much I adore this beautiful spread. The colors are vibrant, the butterflies simply fly off the page, and your use of white space is something I really admire. And to top it all off, I am thrilled you shared this with Art Journal Journey, too.
