playing just for the heck of it!!
Well that, and using things I have bought and never used.........this stencil and dies both come into that category!
I have a bit of a confession......I don't really like spray inks, especially through stencils! I think I must be a bit anal but I like to be more in control of where stuff goes and sprays are just a bit random. I do use them......like on this page.....as a general spray over a background and then work on over that.
I read on MICHELLE WARDS blog that we should remember that we don't always have to get stencils wet to use them! So, I first drew through mine and later used ink on a sponge.
I LOVE this image:)
Masking tape, strips of book page, painty circles and paper clips and a black gem.

WOUW ,this looks AMAZING !!!
Excellent pages, Sue. I do use sprays through mine but I also like to use inks - not sure I have the patience to draw the outlines, although it would depend on how much time I had and how important something was to me. These look great - must try it with some of those die cuts someone sent me that I'll never use x
Fabulous background Sue and the image is wonderful. I love the paper lips and torn pieces, great texture. Tracy x
O M G !!!
This is absolutely extraordinary.
So brilliant stencil work Sue.
Really cool page.
Have a lovely weekend my dear.
Wonderful pages, the background is fabulous and I love the image.
xxx Hazel.
ooh, fab pages Sue. personally I love the randomness of sprays but I would also enjoy outlining the shapes as you have to "tidy" it all up lol. You're right,that is a great image.
ooh that image is lush, you do use some wonderful stuff, so not from the Holtz style of stuff LOL
Brilliant !!
Cool stencils, I love spray inks :o) great spread.
That sprayed background is marvelous. Like all the overlapping circles and cogs. Very dynamic. You seemed to be more succesful then I am in this technique. I have a hard time ghosting and keeping the stencils in place... Well done you!
thanks for the detailed photos, I love them!
Well you may not like using them, but you certainly do it well when you do. This background is spectacular. And I have to say even though you worked with the spray it still looks like you were very much in control. Is this a Tim Holtz stencil, it looks like him, but I don't think I've ever seen this one. Amazing job, thanks for sharing and as always...inspiring.
Oh my gosh, I love the gears! Want! :) it looks fantastic.
WOW! This is so cool! I am glad I came over to see what you have been up to.
May I ask-who makes those dyes?
Awesome work girl!
Please tell me where you found the awesome cog stencil! I love your art-I really loved your altered book posted above this! I've very much enjoyed all I've seen here!
