Pocket Page Scrapping - Lizzy Hill - plus mini Tutorial on reverse stenciling

Hi there! Today I thought I'd switch things around.

DT member, Melinda Sweetman is waaay inspiring with her PL,

so I decided to give it a go, too:)

Basically this is an altruistic post. I recently received my Dusty Attic box of 

AMAZING goodies. Including their new STENCILS & TEXTURE PASTE.

 I decided a really good way of 'playing' was with some PL!

So, here's a bit of a run-down of what I did:

Firstly, I decided on my DUSTY ATTIC PAINT colours, based on the pages I'd already

completed for August:

 Then I got out my new stencils, with some white cardstock & away I went, mixing the fabulously SMOOTH texture paste

with the paint:

Next I whacked it over the stencils. Of course, I had lots of paint, so I then pushed the 'painty' stencil onto some other card stock

for a reverse image:

I was really pleased with how they turned out:

Lovely, LOVELY stencils!!!!

Middle L is CIRCUIT, middle R is  FLOWER BURST

Bottom L is FEATHERS & ARROWS   & bottom R is CONFETTI

So, that was 'stage one'. Then I [lazily] used my Big Shot to cut some of these

into 6x4 PL cards:

The FLOWER BURST STENCIL I fussy cut for my date card:

Here is how it looked finished:

One of the reverse stencil cards was used to

journal over. I figured using vellum on top would work:

These precision pens work really well for writing on vellum. I used a Pitt Artists big pen on all the Dusty Attic chippy that I used, including this

'remember' from the 

MINI WORDS #1 PACK.

I sewed the vellum on, through the chippy. Here's the journaling card finished:

I used the other 'reverse' stencil patterns for backing my photo cards.

Here's a closie:

 

Blessed [ WORD PACK #21] indeed to live close by my son and Grand Boys!

Another card I utilised below middle, has an arrow printed on it; I simply added

some more from the 

Arrow Borders #3 pack:

Loving the CONFETTI stencil beneath it!
 

Top left is the LOVELY CIRCUIT stencil. I added

some black outline for detail.

Above on my Mum's photo I've used a round 'be happy' sentiment from the 

WORD DISKS #1 PACK.

So, there you have it. Lots of fun using the NEW and VERY reasonably priced

Dusty Attic STENCILS and TEXTURE PASTE in some fun ways!

Thanks so much for reading this ~ I hope it gives you some ideas & inspiration.
