Stencil it!!!

Hi Folks,
Today we are using stencils at Stampotique, I have made a journal with Eileen Hull's designed die cut

 Front and back

The closure is painted in Pebeo Fantasy Moon and inside is Mokiwea

 And I made a card stencilling the fun enormous balls that these cuties are balancing on, 'it's a party'

 I grafted Jillian's head on to Dance Party Break Up and of course Twinkie just had to join in all the fun. The balls have been glazed and are glistening in the afternoon sunshine.
For the Journal I used two different stencils from Tim Holtz, Flourish and Dot Fade this was over the top of Crafter's Workshop Basics circles and I used texture paste to get the relief. Andy Skinner's technique for rust and stencilled a heart on the back.
Thank you for stopping by, hugs Gay xx 
p.s
It made me giggle, Hubby isn't into cards and gets them stuck under his nose for approval quite frequently, poor chap, anyway I was working on the journal and a little voice from behind me piped up
" You could sell that"
Well, you could have knocked me down with a feather! Praise indeed! Now I'll need to get cracking and batch make, LOL Don't worry I'm not into that either but I was chuffed that he liked it :D Cheers everyone xx

Tags!

Hello and welcome here, I have a tag for Stampotique, I hope you like it too

The tag was made to accompany my latest technique, wood burning! I have wanted to do this craft for years and years and at last I found the tool and got stuck in. Totally fun and very different, didn't burn myself but got quite close, the tools get very hot.
Moon Girl is perfect for CAS, she is now textured her hair is quite curly :D
My tag was inked with Distress ink, black into Vintage photo and the dotted circles are from the bottom of my water bottle dipped in paint.
Have you tried this technique, if so I'd love to hear your take on it, any tips?
Thanks for joining me today, hugs Gay xx

Yummy
