Chellenge using WOOD

 

I was totally inspired by the challenge going on at Eclectic Paperie.

The challenge is to use wood.

I have a wooden toilet paper holder.  Have had it for years!  Bought from ABC Distributors.  Has 4 wooden panels for the front that you can change out depending on the season of the year.

Do you have one?  Know what I'm talking about?

 

Been thinking for a long time I needed to update at least one panel.  This challenge was the perfect incentive!

 

I covered it in black gesso first.

 White it was drying I stamped colored and cut out some images from Inspired Stamps.

 I used modeling paste and some stencils, some pigment inks and some stamps.  I couldn't get the pigment ink to dry-so I embossed using sparkle embossing powder.

 This stencil above is made by my friend Retta.  Called carpet of flowers.  The one below is one I had in my stash.  As you can see I used a white pen to go around my images.  Really made them POP!

 It's so tall-I couldn't get one picture of it!! Had to divide into two.  I LOVE how it turned out!!

Thanks for stopping by.  Please leave a comment and let me know what you think!
