I used 2 new stencils designed by Helen G for ARTlorations.  
I had so much fun layering the stencils.

I sprayed Pixie Spray on the back of the "Brick Wall" stencil.
Placed stencil over Strathmore Mixed Media paper,  secured with painters tape.

Then used a make up brush to blend Distress Oxide "Iced Spruce" thru the stencil.
It gave a light gray with a tint of spruce green soft background.  
I could not pick up the light green in the photo.

Then sprayed the "Petals 1" stencil and placed over brick wall background
securing with tape carefully so as not to tear background.

Used brush to blend Distress Oxides: Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, 
Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violets thru stencil. 
Removed stencil and went...Wow!!  Loved the effect!

Next die cut the layer with Memory Box Stitched Rectangles Die.
Placed in MISTI and stamped Penny Black "Special Sentiments" using Memento
London Fog dye ink.

Attached layer to SU Whisper White 100# card base and Done!

Thank you again Hilary for an awesome challenge.
I need to do stencil layering more often:-)  Hugs..
