A Season for Flowers -- with Generous Help from Sherry Canino!

It had been awhile since I'd used spray paint with stencils or masks.

Time to do it again!  For today's project, I chose one of the new releases of April 25 -- Mikki's Flowers Mask.

The first and third greeting cards below are near-twins; all three were made the same way.  The watercolor sprays gave me the muted, subtle finish that I'd been looking for.

The middle card below was actually my first.  But I was too heavy-handed on the spray paints with this one!  So, with decorative-edge scissors, I cut out the part that was salvageable; used a gluestick to mount it to a dark green background; and with that gluestick, added the combination to the cover of a greeting card blank (JAMPaper.com.)

Artist Sherry Canino did the art journal spreads below, using a 6" x 6" stencil of mine, Swatton Flowers Version 1.

Sherry also used Carolyn Dube's stencil The Dance of This Life.

If visiting the Finger Lakes area of upstate NY, you can enjoy a visit to Sherry's store, Canino's Artistic Cafe -- 106 Metropolitan Park Drive, Liverpool, NY -- and take advantage of the workshops offered there.

Many thanks, Sherry, for letting me re-post your work here!

And a hearty thanks to everyone visiting this blog today!
