From My Garbage Can to My Art Table

As a Design Team Member for The Crafters Workshop, I get really excited when the design team box arrives with all the new stencils.  Once I open the box my first project is to take pictures of all the new stencils so I have a picture for blog posts.  Next, I put the stencils in 12x12 scrapbook sleeves and label them. 

 

The Crafters Workshop provided me with stencils and mediums to create this project.

The opinions I share are solely my own because I do love to use them.

 

I usually take a day and just play with the stencils. Many times I keep all the scraps of samples and save them for a raining day.  This time around I threw lots of them away because I have so many scraps that I can't keep many until I do a purge.

 

This time around I was playing with the new 12x12 stencil called TCW761 Solemn Branch designed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer on some scrap paper.

By the end of the day, I noticed the paper in my garbage and decided to save it. As you can see it already had paint on it and I just flipped over the stencil to add it to the paper.

I then decided to add color.

and more

and more.  Now the paper is sitting on my drying table and I still don't know what I'm going to do with it.  But I love the way it turned out. I may cut it up for cards, collage or add more to paper.  Time will tell.

Have you ever pulled something out of the garbage and created something with it?  I may be looking at my garbage again before I throw it out. There may be some more I can use!!!
