Circles Wall
Art
I’ve got a number of project ideas swirling around in my head
for these cool Traci Bautista stencils… I thought for this blog post I would do
some quick and easy stenciling with spray inks and frame the finished pieces.
All you need to do is create these easy stenciled backgrounds on
white cardstock and then frame them in simple, classic white frames. I added a
simple word onto each piece but even without the stickers these patterns look
really cool just framed and displayed on a shelf or hung on the wall.
I love the rich, vibrant tones of the Tim Holtz Adirondack spray
inks so I paired my two favorite colors, Purple Twilight and Stream with one of
my new favorite Stencils, Circles Circles by Traci Bautista.

Stenciling
with spray inks tends to get a bit messy, so I like to use an old baking tray
and also cover the surrounding surface with some excess white cardstock and
paper towels.
Lay
the stencil down flat on the white cardstock. Spray the first color in random
areas.
Then
spray the second color over the rest of the white areas. Try not to spray too much;
otherwise the color will bleed under the stencil.
Peel
the stencil off.
Then
let the pieces of cardstock dry.
I
used some thrift store frames and decided to spray paint them white. I didn’t
keep the glass from the frames. I think these pieces look much better with no
glass in the frames.
Insert
the cut pieces of stenciled paper into each frame. Attach a simple word sticker
to each piece, adding it to one of the darker colored areas so that it really
pops.
Display
your framed stenciled pieces on the wall or on a favorite shelf at home.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful idea! One suggestion from experience. If not using glass you might want to spray these with a sealer so they can be cleaned and so that there can be no water damage done to them. Nice work.......
