Stencil Mania at Frilly and Funkie!

Welcome to my bog!  I'm here today with a project using stencils for my Funkie week at Frilly and Funkie.  Stencil love continues with a fresh line-up from the Funkie side of the team.  I had a blast making this mixed media piece - can you tell?  I started with a 5x7" piece of heavy chipboard and painted it with Cracked Pistachio distress paint, leaving a few spots bare.  Then I slathered it with Glue 'n Seal and laid a piece of Melange tissue wrap over it, scrunching it up a bit in places to give it some texture.  Once dry, there were areas that were not glued down securely so I took advantage of those and ripped the tissue wrap off those places.  Then I sponged the entire piece with Vintage Photo DI. 

For my stenciling, I grabbed a favorite stencil from Wendy Vecchi, the Checkmate stencil and applied her black embossing paste through it.  For my embellishments, I created a paper flower using my favorite Tattered Flowers decorative strip die.  The back layer was cut from canvas with the Tattered Florals die, all sponged with Vintage Photo.  I used the Spring Greenery decorative strip die to cut a couple of pieces of (non-green) greenery from velum and added a Kaisercraft laser cut wood embellishment topped with a tiny black butterfly from the Butterfly Frenzy decorative strip die along with a banner that I stamped with a sentiment from the Tim Holtz #hastags stamp set, because this whole piece made me happy when I was playing with it.  

The butterfly was cut with the new Butterfly Duo die and embossed with the texture fade that comes with the die.  I really don't remember how I painted it because it was one of those leftovers from a previous project that pile up around the periphery of my work space.  I believe it was colored with several colors of alcohol ink mixed with Pearl mixative to give it the shine and of course I sponged over that with Vintage Photo.  My little corner filigree started as bronze and was painted black with some Vintaj metal paints.  I cut out an easel stand using the Small Easel die so the piece will be free standing.  Love this one - it is still making me happy.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you will visit us over at Frilly and Funkie and maybe link up a vintage style creation or two using stencils.  We would love to have you come over and play!
