words

This week’s challenge over at The Craft Barn is to use words as background.
Easy.




I started by gluing down book pages 
and giving it a white wash








Then used 2 new stencils, first stenciled turquoise through the main stencil, next placed the circles on top of the other and stenciled in black. Then added some more words with a script stamp. Really pleased with how the background turned out.







Next came the main elements, I used a Julie Nutting stamp which I stamped on a book page and a piece of patterned paper of which I cut out the dress.
I stamped a frame on a piece of metallic paper to form a mirror, added a bird on top of that and used my self-made frame stamp to create a frame for the quote:
What we see depends on what we look for.
