StencilGirl Guest Designer Rae Missigman

 

I was so excited when StencilGirl asked me to come back and do a few more projects using their awesome stencils! They have so many great stencils that it was really hard to choose just a few to work with, but I think you are going to love these latest three.




Don't these just look so yummy? I LOVE the way stencils look once they are broken in. Sometimes I hate to use them again because they look so good! For my first project I used the STRAIGHT STEMS STENCIL. I painted over fabric, added trim and details and stitched up a giant art pocket. I love it. And it is a great way to take your travel art supplies with you when you go. I load it up and keep it on hand all the time! 
The best part is, I can toss a pillow form in and it is transformed into a beautiful and artsy pillow! 


 How super cool is that?  I love this stencil for all the potential it has. I could see adding to this when I used it on a journal page, making each leaf a word or detailed doodle. 



For my next project I used the super cool SCRIBBLE SCRATCH HANDWRITING stencil. This might be my favorite.. For those of you who know and follow me you know I am always scribbling on everything, so I just fell in love with this stencil! I sketched and painted a small canvas as I normally would, adding layers as I went. When I liked what was forming, I added one last layer of white paint over the stencil bringing out the under colors in the process. Love it!



For my last project I chose to create a journal page. I use my journal daily and lots of stencils go into creating these pages, so this was the perfect substrate for using the CIRCLES CIRCLES stencil. I am a circle girl anyway. Circles and triangles. They are my go to shapes. I started by painting a dark purple paint over the stencil using a bristled brush. I like the rough look it left behind, giving my first layer some tooth. From there I just do what I do- add layer after layer. I added lots of color using both paint and inks moving it around and over the stenciled paint. Once dry I added lots of marks and journaling with pens, pencils and paint pens. I really love this look and see this stencil getting a lot of use. 
Now do you see why it was so hard to choose?
