3D Stencilling and Published Penguins!!

I have quite a few stencils which don't get used as often as they should so after seeing this video by Jennifer Mcguire on a cool stencilling technique I had to have a go too.... I'm all for stretching your stash ;)

 This is a stencil by Hero Arts called Triangle pattern, the shapes are quite large and I love the structural pattern they create by layering the inks and off setting the stencil... a perfect background for Lawn Fawns Cacti!! :)

To acheive some dimension on these little guys I used Prisma or coloursoft pencils.... one of my fave techniques :)

Whilst I'm here I wanted to share a card I made for last months Craft Stamper magazine with Mama Elephants Arctic Penguins... I don't usually share these cards but I'm particularily proud of this one because it involves a bit of masking as it's one layer and I made it in one take...amazing!!!

I wanted to make a group of penguins with the two sizes in the set and I'm really happy how they came together :)  Did you know a group of penguins is called a "Rookery" "waddle" or "colony" if they are on land and a "raft" if they are out at sea........ I think I prefer waddle for this little party :)

Thanks for stopping by
