I still need to finish the on-line stencil class, but in the meantime I watched Laura's great video for this week's PTI MIM challenge. There's something magical when you lift up a stencil & see the design. I only have white paste & now I may decide no need to buy colors. I have very few dye reinkers, but pressing a Distress Ink pad onto an acrylic block worked great! I used Peacock Feathers & Dried Marigold to get as close as I could to the challenge at Colour Me. I used my only PTI cover plate, Hexagon, with the sentiment & tags from Tiny Tags. I added Rock Candy glitter while the paste was wet & to the tags. The little flower was sponged with Dried Marigold & a bit of Stickles was added. The little heart is covered with the dried colored embossing paste & Crystal Lacquer. I could spend all day making cards with this technique--really fun, if you haven't tried it. My colors are summery, I think, & I do have a flower on my card, so will enter at The Mixed Media Card Challenge.
