Mixed Media Tag Stencil Space in Your Heart

Hello, my talented blog friends, I hope you all had a great weekend. This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge our challenge theme is "USE STENCILS".
I was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Shifter Mini Stencil Set 40 and Layering stencil Splotches for stenciling the texture on background.

I started this project with stenciling the background of the tag using Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Splotches and Modeling Paste with a palette knife.  The background and the edges of the tag were colored with Distress Paints to show the texture.  I then made some patterns by dabbing Distress Paint over Tim Holtz Mini Stencil set 40 on the tag. 

Some Tim Holtz metal embellishments were colored using Distress Paints and attached on the tag using Glue Dots. I really love the sentiment on the word band: "Remember to keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable". I added random sentiments on the tag with Idea-Ology Remnant and Tiny Text Rubs. 

To finish off the project, I splattered some Distress Paint and water mixture with a brush. I truly had fun creating this tag, and hope you got inspired to use your stencils. Join us and happy crafting!
