New Favorite Shape: Round - Be Strong

Art in the round.

My new favorite shape for art.

Can be challenging.

I started simply.

 

First I had heavy watercolor paper with a background on it already.

I'm trying to go through my stash of trial and error papers and use them.

I cut it to a 5 inch circle.

 

 

It looks like I used lots of stamps and maybe a stencil.

Sorry can't give you specifics.

The only thing I added with Distress Paint was the three pink circles.

 

When I looked at the back of the circle, I realized there was more of a background.

I decided to use the back of the circle instead.

I added the pink circles again with distress paint.

 

I use a stencil called Sally Carly (TCW356) from The Crafter's Workshop. 

Its the 6x6 size.

The silhouettes pop out so you can use the stencil many ways (as a stencil or a mask).

I decided to use black paint around the mask.

 

 

I ended up covering up most of the background so you can see the silhouette.

The hardest part will be to find a frame for it.

Any suggestions?

Art Journal Page: Untitled

I was going through some of my art journals and found this page had a background on it.

I didn't have a lot of time so I went through my stash of tags and found this one.

The only thing I added was pink to the face. At first the pink was just for highlights but then I decided to paint the entire face pink.

 

 

Everything on this page was created using the following stencils from The Crafter's Workshop

 

TCW 439 Retrobursts

TCW 451s Mini Crossed

TCW 414s Mini Three Quarter

 

Other Supplies

A Tag: Just Be Happy with Stencil Aliens

This one was made possible by my stencil aliens.

They kept handing me stencils to use and I don't even know which ones I used there were so many.  Also, they wanted me to use purple which is a hard color for me to use.

 

See the flower?

It's not made from designer paper and I didn't create it by using stencils.

Do you know what it's made from?

 

The answer....

Inside of a security envelope.

The envelopes that your bills come in.

CDs and Stencils: City in the Round

 

Hi Everyone!

 

Head on over to The Crafter's Workshop Blog and see how I created this.

 

How many stencils did I use?

 

 

 

I think I'm now addicted to circles.

 

 

 



It Isn't The End: New Art Journal Page

The best part of a small art journal is that you don't need a lot of time.

I find that when I have a larger journal sometimes I can spend hours on a page adding layer upon layer.

One little page is so much faster.

 

 

Supplies:

TCW267 Ledger Stencil
