Stencil It for Countryview challenges.

Hello everyone and thanks so much for dropping in!!
This month the theme over at the Countryview Crafts Chalenge Blog is Stencil It and today it is my turn to share my second project for the challenge .

I made a large tag card and this is how I went about it:
I started with a large Prima tag from my stash and covered it with a mix of Tumbled Glass, Antique Linen and Pumice Stone Distress paints using a very old and crusty brayer.

Because the brayer had crusted paint on it (I know, I know I should have washed it before the paint dried...) it gave me some cool textures already. I also added some strips of old book paper.

I added some more paint, Walnut Stain Distress and this time added it with a smooth brayer, I also spritzed it with water a little.

Next I put some Grunge Paste on my craft mat and with a small palette knife mixed Black Soot and Walnut Stain Distress paints though it, until I had a nice dark coffee coloured paste. I scraped that through a couple of stencils, The Tim Holtz Cargo Layering stencil and a damask stencil from my stash. I let it dry for a bit by itself and then dried it further with my heat gun, this made the grunge paste bubble up a bit.

I also spritzed over it with a home made spray (Vintage Photo re-inker and water).

For the following step I glued an old book page to a piece of Kraftcard and ran that through my Big Shot using the Tim Holtz Tattered Doily die.. I inked the edges with Vintage Photo DI and adhered it to my tag:

(Don't look too closely or you will see that the book paper is upside down) ah well...

Now for the final bits:
I coloured some smooth stamping card with Tumbled Glass DI and spritzt it a few times with a home made gold mica spray. I then stamped the large Dragon Fly from the Tim Holtz Classics 1 set in Jet Black archival, cut it out and adhered it to my tag.

I then made a little book using the Spellbinders Labels 7 die, some old book pages and a piece of Kraft card. I inked the book pages with Vintage photo and adhered a bit of ribbon and an Ideaology Pen Nib and glued it all to my tag.

The final touches were the words that came from the Classic 17 set and a type charm and ribbon at the top and then I mounted it first on white and then a Kraft card card base that I had stenciled around the edges with the Tim Holtz Trellis Layering Stencil.

Hope you like my vintage book card and that it has inspired you to take out some stencils and play along with our challenge!!
