The new Compendium of Curiosities Challenge #31 uses Layering Stencil Paint Resist found on page 47 of Tim's Compendium of Curiosities Vol. III. I don't use stencils and paint often and I've only tried this technique once before in a class, so this is very experimental. I bought a couple of Distress Paints recently, so I thought I'd see what I could do. For more experimentation, I decided to use the newest set of distress ink mini (set #13) - and oh - it was so much fun! I was excited to see the bright colors on Tim's blog, and then I started blending them and I am giddy with delight! I LOVE these colors! I love the colors they create when blended! I used Twisted Citron, Abandoned Coral, Mermaid Lagoon and Fossilized Amber. Four different stencils were used in this card.
This is a great challenge blog! It's a fun way to work through all the different ideas in Tim Holtz's Compendium of Curiosities #3 book. I recommend you click the first link above and see all of the CC3 teams great projects.
This week's sponsors are Inspiration Emporium, who has donated a generous $50 gift certificate to a randomly chosen winner, and Tim and Mario who donated a bunch of goodies to the winner of the Curiosity team's choice.
