Hello, I hope everyone is well and happy 🙂
After watching some of Journal Artista’s stencil tutorials I desperately wanted some stencils, but couldn’t find any locally. Then I found this filigree cut paper and I used it as a stencil with some newly acquired Adirondak colourwash spray in Wild Plum and Cranberry. I was so excited to try the spray, but so disappointed that all that happened was it made one almighty mess! You’ll see the messy results next week, but I did like what happened to the paper it turned a deep purple. This spread had already been created and I thought it was finished until I noticed that the filigree paper matched the design on the scrapbook paper I had used. It is from the Papermania birdsong collection so I decided to rip it and add it to this spread. The music paper came free with a craft magazine I bought years ago. I really like the way these two pages turned out.
Big love

I am sorry your Colorwash did not turn out the way you wanted, but I LOVE this spread. The filigree cut paper really makes it stand out. Guess this was a “flopportunity”.
Have you considered ordering some stencils from the US? I know international shipping is a pain. Blue Moon Scrapbooking ships internationally (http://www.bluemoonscrapbooking.com/WSWrapper.jsp?mypage=InternationalShipping.htm). The Crafters Workshop stencils are practically weightless.
These are some of my favorite colors! Love the look of the filigree, AJ. Very cool!
