Creative Artiste #13 April 2016

This is my second post for today. Please see below for the new Crafts Galore Encore challenge.
It's the 1st of April but also the first Friday so that means it's the start of the April challenge at Creative Artiste We are a challenge blog for everyone who likes to mix their media. As long as you use more than one medium on your creation we'd love to see you enter the challenge. This is a month long challenge so you have time to create projects and enter up to three times. A full list of the rules is on the challenge blog.
A big Thank You to everyone who entered Challenge #12 in March. Your projects were fabulous. The winner has been announced  on the blog.

We are sponsored this month by
Dusty Attic

And the mixed media theme is
"Anything Goes" 
with the option of
"Use Chipboard, Stencils or Flowers"

I opted to use stencils and flowers and I decorated this 8"x 8" (20cm x 20cm) canvas.

I first cut out a couple of clouds and used them as masks while I painted the canvas with a pale blue acrylic. Then I used an ivy stencil with green acrylic paint. I made the fences with lolly sticks from Docrafts Craft Planet range.

I cut circles of felt to make the spiral roses and leaf shapes from green felt which I pinched and glued. I topped the roses with pearls.

The sentiment stamp is from the Enjoy Life set by IndigoBlu and was stamped with Paris Dusk Memento ink.
Now please visit the Creative Artiste Challenge Blog to see the wonderful projects created by my talented team mates. Remember to have fun and enter your "Anything Goes" or "Chipboard, Stencils or Flowers" mixed media creations in the challenge.
