Using one stencil
Hi everyone, it's Jo here.
Today I'm sharing an art journal page for this month's Use a Stencil (or two) challenge, which I created using the same stencil a few different ways.
Firstly, I applied some crackle paste through the stencil, then some
Distress Ink and finally I used the stencil like a stamp by covering it
with ink and pressing it onto my page.
To see how it all came together and a full list of products, please pop over to my blog Let's Art Journal.
Thanks so much for joining me today! Hugs, Jo x

Guest Designer - Brenda Brown
We've had lots of Designers wanting to wish us Congratulations on our 100th Challenge and we are going to share their projects with you all and hope it gives you more inspiration to join in.
Today we have the lovely Brenda Brown. We chose Brenda for the last Designer as Brenda was one of our very first Designers on our very first blog post back in March 2013. A friendship I hold dearly and still admire her creativity and always love her projects and Brenda will always be our favorite Tutor of our in store workshops
Hello everyone it's Brenda with you today to finish off this fabulous celebration for Country View Crafts 100th Challenge. It's such an amazing milestone and a huge credit to Susan and the team keeping the inspiration going for everyone. I was absolutely delighted when Susan asked me to do a project as I opened the very first challenge back on the 1st March 2013 and I'm delighted to be back to finish off this month's celebrations
I've been privileged to be associated with Susan, the CVC Design Team and the blogs in a number of capacities and teaching workshops has been my absolute love. I've taken time out of crafting for the past couple of years but I'm looking forward to designing and providing more workshops when we finally get back to normality and feel safe again.
In the meantime, I hope you like my Time Machine collage that has jumped 100 challenges and I hope to see you all again soon.
Hugs Brenda xx
