Blowing Wishes to You

Hi Everyone!

One of my favorite stencils from The Crafter's Workshop is the Number stencil.

I love numbers in my art work so this one is perfect.

 

I did have all the pictures to show you how I created this step by step.

BUT I accidently deleted them including the recycle bin.

I didn't realize I did it until I went back into my folder and they weren't there.

It was one of those moments you say "What was I thinking?". Nothing apparently.

I took about 20 pictures while creating this canvas.

I was so excited I actually remembered to take pictures!!

 

Anyway, I have these pictures and I will try to explain how I created it.

 

I used the paint colors shown in the picture and added the number stencil to my canvas.

You can see I added lots of layers.

 

I decided I wanted a dark canvas so I used Liquitex Spray Paint through the stencil and then sprayed it with water.

I do this so the paint can spread out on the canvas.

I don't use a lot. Just enough to spread and keep the stencil image.

Waited for it to dry and repeated it will another color (4 layers).

The last layer when I pulled up the stencil paint stuck to it (white blotches).

I left it that way and went with is.

 

I used modeling paste through the dandelion stencil (not a TCW stencil, not sure where it came from).

When it dried I used white Pan Pastel on top.

I wanted to add some sparkle so I sprayed it with water and added a little gel medium and while it was wet added glitter.

When it was dry I added a little more Pan Pastel.

Finished!

It's sealed with Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic.

I bought this in the craft store.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
