When I did the stenciling here it was just an experiment. At the time I didn’t have a clue whether I would use it, however as you can see I was able to and it is being entered into the November 2024 Stencil Fun Challenge. My concession to sparkle and shine is the two metallic frames around the image.

So why did I experiment, you may ask? Well sometime next year I need a design that is art deco in look and I have nothing in my supplies for it. My husband uses a metal bookmark which he left on the table and when I picked it up I immediately thought this has an art deco look. So I borrowed it, taped it to some card stock, masked off a little and proceeded to ink the sections, moving the mask as needed. I liked it so I placed the stencil beside the already completed section and repeated the process. My thinking was, it’s not bad and how can I use it? Last year I acquired these small transparencies which I didn’t really use, but as I had pulled them out to possibly use now, I realized that the angels would look quite good with the background. I made the two frames using metallic CS and some HeroArts infinity dies and added them around the panel. I already had the sentiment done and layered from yesterday and this too is from a HeroArts set. I used some foam tape to add the angels and although it shows through a bit it isn’t detracting from the look.

I’m quite happy with the end result and I may borrow the bookmark again to do some more stenciling. Thanks for stopping by, your time is always appreciated. I hope your weather is better than ours. We have one of those atmospheric rivers passing through so it is a very wet and dreary day. Even the dog prefers to be inside on a day like this but the local deer don’t seem to mind.
