Playing with stencils

I'm joining the January challenge at ARTastic, which is inspired by this piece of Ken Done artwork:


The criteria is a CITY THEME.  I chose the city of Sydney, and this is my layout, which will be the first in my 2017 family album:



Materials
Bazzill Basics Smoothies - Blackberry Swirl cardstock
Carabelle Studio Compositon avec de Carres art template
Imagine Crafts Creative Medium - Metallic Gold texture paste
Kaisercraft White acrylic paint
Heidi Swapp Center of Attention - Metallic Pink chipboard alphabets
White tissue paper
Image credit: #SydNYE 

I used a black background with gold texture paste stencilling, and a few swipes of white using the edge of a foam brush.  Note:  The title is not misspelled; it is the event name (ie: Sydney New Year's Eve).  This is a detail shot showing how shiny the gold texture paste really is:
