You have managed to get so much depth with just three colours. Great tip for getting texture onto the grunge paste too. Glad you were able to have a lovely day with your parents and Dave and then " lose" yourself with this. <br />Brenda I'm pleased you asked the question about the shading dis I didn't really understand it either - so I must be a numpty too!

I love that stencil, and have already made a few cards with it, using grunge paste or "just" some ink. I really like your canvas, still not very familiar with them....., and the lovely colours you've used. <br />Off to work now, have a great Monday. <br />Laurence xxLaurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963544022941892238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-17627413839659801622015-08-17T00:39:21.729+01:002015-08-17T00:39:21.729+01:00Hello Barbara

My local Hobbycraft has also started stocking some mixed media paints and effects and bought a few of those to try so will give them a go too, one is a really fab crackle glaze which I think will look great with this stencil. Thanks as always for the inspiration.

I bet Nicola will be texting /phoning the guy to make sure he's where he needs to be at the right time for her picking him up!!! Good thinking Sheila - blame the CFS, it usually is eh!!!! Right I'm off to be, can't keep my eyes open, 2 nights of only a few hours sleep and all that time of mental energy really catching up with me. Don't know the last time I went to sleep this early! Hopefully it means I'll be able to get up early too - not always the case with CFS though!!!

You give back just as much you get from this blog. And agree with Donna you are not a numpty, you are just asking the questions I was thinking about the shading. Always remember you dare to ask what many of us only got as far as thinking, so we end up benefiting from your questions! Glad to see from your other posts you've been doing a bit of crafting, rock on girl!
