Stencils at Try It On Tuesday

It's time for a change of theme at Try It On Tuesday and we are asking you to 'Use A Stencil' (or more!) this time. 

The Design Team have used them in so many ways so please take a look here.

I made a journal page.

I gessoed my page first as I wanted a paler look to my background and gesso soaks up the ink so well.

I used two different stencils to build up layers then added Texture Paste through the same flower turning the stencil slightly each time.

Once dry I used another stencil by drawing through it and colouring them and the centre of the daisies with Faber Castell watercolour pencils. I added a little extra blue around the flowers.

The words are from Aall and Create Janet Klein washi tape.

We hope that you will share your Use A Stencil art this time - as usual the theme runs for two weeks.

Thanks for looking, Chris

  2. I like how you used the stencil as the star of your page Chris. They are very lovely daisies for certain. I can just see a stencil peeking through, and it gives your page some create design. Hope May is treating you well. Hugs-Erika

  3. I like how you added dimension with the texture paste. The subtle colors really make the brighter colors of the Washi tape stand out.
