A SOOTHING ADVENTURE AND FESTIVE OASIS



I WAS SKEPTICAL AT FIRST OF THIS STENCIL...

THEN I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT!!!

Today's art is just one piece I created with this Stencil that was distributed last month in our Stencil Girl Club Kit.  When I received it, I must honestly say I went UGH!  I was not sure at all what I could possibly do with it.

 Then I sat down, took out some colors that I never use and thought "OK, I don't like the stencil so pick colors I don't like as well and see what happens."  Well LOVE happened!  I was SO surprised what came of my "not-coveted" stencil and colors!

 In all my art, I might say this is one of my favorites, and I am the last person to rave about my art!

 If anything, I am the worst critic of all time - most of the time not liking what I produce.  Sad Isn't It.

 So without delay, here is my now "very coveted" stencil set.  I am still a bit cautious about using the colors though without this "now" favorite stencil set!

    Samara, this is really a fab project. You are a real artist as you can use everything you will get for making something crafty with it. The kit makes you using something new. That´s fab and the result is WOW!

    Wow this is fantastic. I love all the colours & the words of inspiration.

    it feels good to be surprised by tools and colors that we might (at first) feel are our style.
    this page looks happy and spontaneous~!
    well done.

    Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
    said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had
    to tell someone!
