Stencil frenzy

I have been in a frenzy lately and this time
it's my pal Holli's fault.
She gave me the stencil - Tim Holtz arrows.

 I wanted a little dimension and color
so I mixed blue paint with the molding past.
 And decided to smear it over each and every one of them.
 On the entire page - which is going to be 8.5x11.
 Since I got carried away with the mixing I used
the leftovers to make dots on this page - that was going to
be THE page but I liked the other better.
 See those little stars???
They came in this month's Studio Calico kit and
when I tore open the package - they went
everywhere.
And I liked where they landed to I glued them all down.
one.by.one.
 My homemade enamel dots.
 The title. Sigh.
I didn't think of bounce til I glued down hop - which
is a QK cookie cutter font- cosmopolitan.
 Again with the chaos and I love.
After all Lou is bouncing around in a cage so......
This time I did add a bunch more layers and kept
the embellishments down to a mild roar.
I also mounted this on kraft cardstock and matted the
photo the same - along with some navy c/s.

Looks like Lou was having a blast.

Loving all of the arrows and how they give movement to the page (especially with a page about a bouncy house, I mean how perfect is that?!) P.S. The flower on the last card I posted today is actually a die cut from the collection I used. :)
