Just a quick blog before the family return from a weekend of skating

and i extract myself from my art table.

i got a pile of layouts done, so wish i could share them all,

my delayed gratification sucks .lol

heres a layout or 3, I played with over the last few days .

 a layout for Tracey

 i have flogged this stamp to death, such good value for money :)

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
