Stenciled Class Homework...

Hi folks... I signed up for the Online Stencil Class with Jennifer..Kristina...Laura...Julie...Debby and Shari totally forgetting that it went live last Friday...the day I was on the train heading for Leeds so I've got 4 days homework to catch up on and with the DIY stuff  and the Fiskars samples taking over my life at the moment...it's going to be a bit of a "sneak in a little play when I can" exercise.
inking with a stencil...pretty straight forward when you're mega addicted to Distress Inks and the fabulous stencils from a certain Mr Holtz...
spritzing through a stencil...not so easy peasy...well not for me anyway...I seem to get the ink everywhere and believe me the waste paper bin was full to brimming with my "OMG that's just awful" attempts...this was try number 1,042 (slightly exaggerating perhaps)...the best of a bad bunch

practice makes perfect perhaps but I have enough DIY painting on my plate at the moment without having to redecorate the splattered walls of the cubbyhole...thank you very much.
I have to say a huge thank you to my knight in shining armour...my lovely Papeterie buddy Pearl was rather worried about this little old woman...her words not mine...attempting the skyscraper cutting in so she asked her lovely hubby Keith (painter & decorator extraordanaire) to help out...blimey 10 minutes...job done...thanks a million Keith xxx
See you all tomorrow to share this month's Timmie Tag
Hugs Kath xxx
