We all used Jane LaFazio's leaves and pods stencils from Stencil Girl Products for our creations. Take a look at each Artist's Blog listed at the end of my post.......
Masa paper with acrylic, watercolor ...all stitched up with recycled sari ribbons
Gold acrylic paint was used here with Jane's Eucalyptus stencil
The Masa paper was soaked in water, crinkled and FW Burnt Umber Ink was added
while the paper was wet. I also painted some of the leaves and pods with watercolors.
Our theme was Gratitude...
Have fun Hopping!
