Hi! Mary Nasser here to show you what I did with
3 of Maria McGuire’s newest StencilGirl designs –
Loopy Doily, Seeds and TinyMedallion.
Working on canvas with acrylics is my favorite way
to use stencils – so I am having a blast stenciling on canvas bags now, too!
And who doesn’t need a cute, bright tote bag for summer day trips and
vacations?
For this project, I
used a large canvas tote, heavy body acrylic paint in two colors: Permanent Red
Violet and Turquoise Green,
sponge daubers, Scotch-Blue Painter’s Tape and a
Stained by Sharpie fabric marker in pink.
Using the blue tape to hold the Loopy Doily
stencil in place, I applied Permanent Red Violet with a tiny dauber.
I
especially like using these itty-bitty daubers when I want extra control
applying paint and for stencils with lots of intricacies like these.
Next, I taped the Tiny Medallion and Seeds stencils
in place on the right side of the bag and used another tiny dauber –
this time
with Turquoise Green.
Then I rotated these
two stencils 180-degrees and used Turquoise Green again on the left side of the
bag.
Lastly, I added pink Stained by Sharpie to only
the very center of the Loopy Doily stencil.
I did this four times – once on
each of the four corners of the outside pocket.
Voila!
I’m ready to pack this baby and hit the road to meet
up with Maria and Carolyn!
Happy Stenciling!
