Had one of those Blah days yesterday, after seeing off a pile of ironing I had nothing I really needed to do for the rest of the day but could not settle to do anything. On Friday a friend had called round and we were commenting on the fact that neither of us had used any of the stencils we "had" to have at Port Sunlight back in May so finally about 10pm I decided to start playing about with one of them.I had a go at the reverse stencil technique which I really liked ,used new distress ink colours , Abandoned coral, mermaid lagoon and cracked pistachio (I think !) then I flipped over the stencil and moved is very slightly to one side and inked through with the same colours.Added another of the texture fades butterflies and some bits of random stamping, finally added a piece of washi tape and tore some butterfly names off the tape and added them , stamped HB and voila !
