Michaelmas daisies and new stencils





I purchased some lovely stencils off Ebay recently.
The seller very kindly put a load of extra stencils in with the ones I ordered for free!
That brightened my day!
I use stencils for ink spritzing, modelling paste layering, gelli printing, in fact anything and everything!



They make a lovely background for watercolour sketching in my sketchbook.
I use inked spritzed through the stencil and painted on top when dry.
Michaelmas daisies are so evocative of autumn days and that 
 breathy chill in the morning air,

  3. Ooh! Those stencils look lovely. I love the dreamy effect of the ink and the watercolour together. Are the inks you use permanent when dry?

  5. That looks beautiful! I love to use stencils too but keep to the same ones because I find them so expensive. What a great idea to look on Ebay, why didn't I think of that?! xx
