I have allot of stamps but just a few stencils, I like the small brass ones that I have. I also found a large plastic stencil that was a free gift from somewhere. I never cared for it much-but I thought I would use it today.
I am not big on palm trees and I didn't like that the border on top was different on each side. That really showed up in the completed project.
I decided to grab a piece of soft scrap leather and glue down in my art journal that I am using for these challenges.
I also grabbed some metallic pens that are totally new to me. I bought them from Crayola just to try last fall when they had a big sale on their site.
I also grabbed the birdhouse and bird stencil.
The metallic pens were probably not a good choice for this project because they have a wide point that was difficult to get into small places. and the pen did not quite make it through the whole stencil. I filled in the design with another pen otherwise you couldn't see what the image was suppose to be.
This piece of leather had character so I left the extra on to the left-
I decided to take a pen and outline the little bird-but now seeing the photos I liked it better before.
