I made a bg using black distress oxide ink and then applied a stencil that had been spritzed with water. I had seen a Jennifer McGuire video and I liked how hers turned out and wanted to try it...am pleased with my results. The Crazy Bird was colored with distress stains, watercolors, and gel pens.

I really like your black background using stencils...very cool. The colorful bird and banners really pop against it. Super creation!

That looks similar to Dina's recent watercolour imprints tutorial, which is on my list of things to dry - only she's laying the stencil on a misted inked piece, while you misted your stencil. I wondered about trying that - but decided that with alcohol, it might just run off even quicker than water does. You created a gorgeous background, Polly. The deep colour contrasting with the vivid colours in the banner and bird is just super.

Your background is incredible Pol. I guess you already know how much I love your crazy bird! The bright banners are the icing on the cake. Love this to bits!
