Best Wishes stenciling technique

I used a Momenta stencil and a Scrapbooking Made Simple leaf stencil with Distress Oxide inks. I inked the stencils in the normal way. Then I sprayed the leftover ink on the stencil with water and squished it over the top. 
I reused a floral image, except I added Perfect Pearls on the pedals. I found the sentiment in Cricut Design Space, and instead of cutting it out, I used my markers to write it out. Then I punched it out with a circle punch.

Thanks for looking.
Simon says Stamp. Use more than one stencil

Double stenciled backgrounds

This is a Tim Holtz tag that I did a stencil on a stencil technique. The twisted square stencil is by Momenta, and the dot stencil is by Gina Marie. I used Distress Oxides. The sentiment is by Sizzix. I stamped it with purple ink and clear heat embossed.

Then I created a small tag using a different stencil with the square stencil, but I didn't know how to finish it off, so maybe next time.

This last one uses two stencils and the same sentiment stamp.
