Kathy Adams with TWO StencilGirl Video Tutorials!

Hi, Everyone! Kathy Adams here! I’ve been a fan of StencilGirl stencils for many years and have tons of them, with a wish list too long to count!! Stencils are a great way to get started with your own art and I find them to be a great jumping off point for the many ideas that swirl around in my head. Today I am sharing two projects using a few of my favorite stencil designs. I hope that you are inspired to try these techniques and I would love to hear your ideas and even see what you made in response. I’ve prepared a video for each of the projects so that you can see my creative process. Enjoy!

Project 1 

Technique: Layering with Stencils

“Let’s Do This” Canvas

Supplies

Ornamental Petals Screen by Gwen Lafleur

9” x 12” Canvas

Gesso

Acrylic Paint

Acrylic Retarder Medium

Baby Wipes

Sponge Applicators

Die Cut Phrase

Sometimes when I am feeling uninspired, I open an art journal and make backgrounds. In this video, I show you my favorite technique for making backgrounds using stencils. Instead of using an art journal, I used this technique to make a fun canvas.

Project 2

I have an online business and always send a thank you note with every sale.  I also occasionally sell my art and need information cards. For my next project, I will share how I created art cards using my favorite stencils and the Gel Press Plate. I try to keep it simple so that I can make a bunch at a time. I print information on Avery labels (Avery.com allows you to print on any label they make!) and stick them on the back, leaving room to write a thank you.
