Well it is time for the Funkie team to unveil their makes for this fortnights theme  for Frilly and Funkie DT and the theme has be chosen by the lovely Sue ...and is stencils and textures ..here are the details...  Stencils have become a firm favourite of mine and are really popular in the crafting world now.  So, for this challenge let's see you use your stencils on your projects but also lets see some texture too!  This can be embossing, texture paste or even fabric.  But most of all have fun!

You can combine our challenge with up to 10 challenges (including this one) to be in with a chance of winning. So I had so much fun playing...ahem ..I mean making this piece and here it is :

I wanted to add lots of layers and textures ...so here are some of the steps of how I got to the end.. I started with one of Linda's #10 tags from the boutique and applied some of Wendy's new crackle paste to some areas and then some of the clear paste through a Tim stencil..When dry I realised that it didn't quite have the effect I wanted ..so thinking cap time... I added some colour using distress ink and then applied some more of Wendy Vecchi crackle paste ...across the stencilled clear paste...and let it do its magic!

I love the soft crackle here , as a thin layer had been applied over the clear stencilled paste...and also here applied straight to tag 

I also added some weathered wood distress ink through the stencil in places and then edged in walnut stain distress ink...so layer one complete with tissue tape ...all done ...

Now for layer two...I used a #8 tag and applied white Wendy vecchi embossing paste through this fab prima stencil in areas...and then some crackle paste in areas...colouring with distress ink when dry...

Then I set too layering and embellishing the finished piece... I added a piece of corrugated card stock and then a little piece of card..with tissue tape layers and more crackle paste..then  a heart cut from Wendy's heart stencil..used as template and covered with glitter .and some rusty wire..

I added some idea-ology and one of the new idea-ology arrows wrapped in rusty wire.. some dyed seam binding and more idea-olgy.

At the bottom I added some of the new burlap and a word band tied on with more rusty wire..

Well hope you like my make and make sure you hop across here to see my fab team mates makes...hopefully you will find time to hop across and join in all the fun too ! x
