Challenge number 476 over at Less is More this week is to use a recipe or technique – this time it is to use a stencil…

I’ve created my brick wall by using three colours of distress ink blended through a stencil. I used a graffiti font to design my sentiment, printing it out, cutting on my Silhouette and then colouring with airbrushed ProMarkers for that authentic effect. I overdid the paint runs with the airbrush, but it turned out ok in the end.
