Hi there,

welcome back to the STAMPlorations Stencil Challenge. As you surely know the only requirement is to use a stencil on your project. 

I played around with some alcohol inks on a ceramic tile for this one:

• apply some Alcohol Pearl Inks onto a ceramic tile and create a rainbow background
• apply Prima Marketing Light Paste through the ARTplorations Flair stencil and let this layer dry thoroughly
• add color to the paste with Distress Ink Black Soot
• add some splatters with watered-down black acrylic paint
• adhere some burlap and ribbon to the tile using hot glue and add a sentiment from the STAMPlorations Shine Bright sticker set on top

Have a colorful day.
