What fun to be asked to work with the StencilGirl product line. I was eager to work with these two creative stencils from StencilGirl:

I used acrylic paints to pounce through the stencil with a make up sponge onto my painted background. I added doodling, stitching and painted paper to finish off my project.
For a step by step tutorial on creating this project, click HERE.
Ripples stencil available HERE was my second stencil to work with - this time in my Documented Life Project planner. Loved the stacked circles which are so versatile.
After painting a dark background, I pounced acrylic paint through the stencil with a make-up sponge. Once that was dry, I went doodle crazy creating a galactic feel. I added a quote and a favorite photo to create a background in my planner that is so creatively different to document my week! Those outer rings are screaming for journaling in white pen.
You can find the detailed process on my blog HERE.
Sandi Keene delights in all things involving paper, paint and a good doodle pen. Scrapbooking was her entry into paper arts and she has never looked back, now focusing on watercolor, mail art and doodling. As the creator of Secret Lake Retreat, she built what she most desired - a community of creative women who value friendship as much as their art supplies. Retreat weekends are circled in red in her planner with a countdown running in her head. Sandi loves words, translucent colors, well-made plans and the mountains of NC. Not to mention her family and dogs who live with her in FL. Visit Sandi's blog HERE!
Take it away Lorraine!!
I am so excited to have the opportunity to showcase StencilGirl products this week! Join me on my journey as I use their beautiful stencils to find my "True North."
It was so hard to choose which stencils I wanted to work with, but I leaned toward their "maps and travel" line for this project.
I used Around The World Latitude Stencil and Compass Rose Stencil .
Come on over to my blog and see how I made these fun projects using StencilGirl stencils!
