Hello everyone!
Isn’t it hard to believe that it is already heading into the last weekend of February!! This month I wanted to created something I could do whilst watching the Olympics
So I set up my space in front of the tv. I started out with my journal, a stencil, some rubber, carving tool, ink and blending tool and scissors. At first before i thought it through I had just traced my image with a pen but then it hit me to use the ink blending tool. I just pressed some ink though the bits of stencil I wanted to recreate and then took out my carving tool and carved away.
Please note that although i have received some of the products used to create this project from some great companies, the opinions I share are solely my own.
I decided to create on a page I had started out doing a demo on in class one day. It simply had some modelling paste on the edges with a bit of colour. I decided to layer on some oxides and water and see where it goes from there.
For focal points I added the new release stencil Exotic Lamps in black and some grecian gold modeling paste.
Then it was time to do some stencilling and stamping.
I used the same stencil that i had carved for adding distress ink to my page prior to stamping with archival ink
So why you ask would I make a stamp from a stencil.. you get the same image right…. well it is because I am not a fan of using an archival ink through my stencils…. so this way I can layer using my ‘stencil’ in a whole other way!!
To finish my page it was just a matter of doodling and added some chitchat stickers for a finishing quote
Remember, we would love to see what you create with The Crafters Workshop Stencils and Mediums. Be sure to share it with us on our Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest by using hashtag #tcwstencillove.
until next time my friends,
