One Stencil Only: TCW Dramatic Floral and a Paper Bag

Hi Everyone!  I've been collecting paper bags to paint on. You know the size your prescription at the pharmacy comes in? I have decided to use these bags as play time and use only one stencil one them.

For this paper bag I used TCW736 Dramatic Floral stencil designed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer in the 6"x6" size.  It also comes in 12x12. See them both HERE.

I don't have any step out photos so I'll explain how I created it. First I painted the paper bag with Golden Fluid Acrylics Prussian Blue Hue. My new favorite color!  I let it dry then I added shades of blue, white, yellow and green either through the stencil or adding paint to the bag, put the stencil on top and used a baby wipe to take off the paint.  The little white rectangles, bottom right, are made by the tip of a paint marker.

When it all dried I stamped "Listen" by Yvonne Blair Designs on tissue paper and only used a portion of the stampe for my painting.

The one thing I learned from creating this is I love this color combination and adding paint to the bag and lifting it off through the stencil with a baby wipe is a technique I haven't used in a while. I really love the way it looks. I'll be using it again for sure.

One Stencil - Gorgeous Art Journal Background

The wonderful thing about The Crafters Workshop stencils are they make great backgrounds. I haven't made backgrounds in a long time and it was so much fun creating this one.

I decided to use Rangers Distress Oxide inks and one TCW stencils called Dramatic Floral (TCW736) designed by Balzer Designs.  I started adding the stencil with picked raspberry.

 

 

Next, twisted citron.

 

 

Then added peacock feathers and fossilized amber.

 

 

To add more of the stencil I used a Signo white pen and traced the design onto the page.

 

I love it. If you look closely I only used parts of the stencil design. I love that I can choose different sections of the stencil to make it fit on the page.

 

 



 

The best part was when I finished using each color I would spray the stencil with water and add it to the opposite page.  Pretty cool looking right?

I don't know how or when I'll use these pages. I love the way they turned out. I think they are to pretty to cover!
