Stencil Art

Yay , Donna Downey came back to OZ ..
&
I was lucky enough to attend a class with her, my third in as many years ,
 at Pages2Scrap on the Central Coast , NSW , Australia .
I always get great ideas and tips from Donna , she is a wealth of creative knowledge and 
she gets us Aussies ..lol .
i had planned to do the Friday evening class ,but with my friend Paula unable to attend Friday ,
so , 
I booked us both  in for the Saturday night stencil art class
which was AWESOME..
heres a sneak from the piece i made in class.
I seriously was so inspired i not only got very little sleep from the ideas floating in my head but i busted into 
a two new canvases a day later .
the process is very simple..
make up acrylic paint sprays and layer up your stencils , drying in between
when that process is finished , dry finger paint over your canvas to reveal your favourite stencil clusters

different scrap buddies and create together,
finding inspiration from others, sharing your stash.
 but ,there's something special about the Savvy Delights Retreat .
Sandra puts together a seriously huge selection of challenges(almost 40) to prompt the creative spirit. 
Running thru a few ...  this layout requested but Tanya who is with me in this pic,
I'm hold a pic of super creative Louise Nelson and Tanya together 
the prompt in this layout was the provided chippy words.

Theres a slider on the top of this page ..lol but ive cropped it off...whoops 
i love this pic of my gorgeous arty friend Paula .
These Two Layouts are for my scrap sista Sarah..
I've loved watching these two girls grow and dance their way into my heart,
 seen in their Mummas' beautiful fun work.
Layout 1 .. provided// felt flowers
Prompt - Rhinestones and Pearls 
A layout for Joanne Prompt _Lisa Warren Transparency
