Fossil ferns

I got out my poly paper and started cutting some stencils and masks, as we learned in Michelle Ward's Frond Chronicles class.  I wanted an old, fossil look here.  Gesso pages first, then add layers of paint and stencils, blotting some color after spraying with water.  Then stencil using a dry brush.  I added pieces of an old farmer's almanac as the finishing touch! Have fun!
