I cut a panel of card to the same size as the stencil ( 6x6), placed the stencil on the card and applied a couple of colours of Izink Ice through the stencil with a palette knife. As Izink Ice is translucent I didn't spread it out too thinly as I wanted a good intensity of colour. The colours blend seamlessly  and application of the medium through the stencil is effortless.

After I removed the stencil I dried the 'Ice' with a heat gun holding the gun quite close which makes the 'Ice' blister and craze. Great to watch and you can actually hear the crazing too . 

I went round the stenciled geometric shapes with a black fineliner pen and did some mark making in the white open spaces. 

Although happy with the 6x6 panel I decided to cut it in half for my art panel and adhered it to a panel of That's Crafty! White/Greyboard to give it more rigidity. 

I wanted to continue the geometric design onto the larger of the circles (a That's Crafty ATcoin) that made up the focal feature. I also wanted the stencilled design on the Atcoin to align with the stencilled design on the background so I created another panel identical to the first.  When dry I positioned the ATcoin where I wanted it to sit on the background, cut that area out of the 2nd stenciled panel and adhered it to the coin. 

I framed the stenciled covered Atcoin with a black die cut ring. 

The rest of the focal feature was made up of a number of parts: (from the bottom to the top) 

- a painted faux stitched wood chip 

- a faux stitched white die cut ring, 

- a painted That's Crafty! Bits and Pieces greyboard 'bar' (from the large cogs sheet)

- a painted tiny circle (popped out of the greyboard bar) 

and finally a purple gem bead. 

Thanks for joining me today 

Have a great week. 

Take care and Stay safe
