Less is More is 3

It may be because I'm getting old, but the three years since Mandi and I started Less is More have completely flown.
She is terribly busy with her Wedding Business and is doing  really well! Long may it continue!
The colour challenge this week at "Less is More" is Rainbow.
As I have kinda been involved with stencilling this week I thought I would do some for this challenge. This used a mask for the three primary colours and a few stamps plus a bit of spritzing for the rest. I had hoped that all the colours of the rainbow would be evident with the overlapping colours but they are not too clear. I can see a bit of orange and a bit of green and a speck of purple, but I decided to add some purple splodges just because I could!
The sentiment was clear embossed before I started using any colours!
More stencilling here. I die cut the base butterfly from Memory Box from scrap card and used it as a mask to daub the rainbow colours inside. I then used the matching die to make a template for the filigree part.I popped this inside the the first aperture and sponged the black colour through it!
It was fun to do!
This last one used my new Simon Says Stamp heart banner die, together with a die cut sentiment from Tattered Lace. I coloured the inserts of the hearts and then twinkled them with Glamour Dust.
I hope everyone has a bit of fun with this one.
