Hello Beautiful People!
Today I’m sharing an idea for how to add pops of color to your space. Since all the colors are my favorite, it’s a challenge for me to pick one (or even a few) to fill my creative space. We moved last year and I’m still trying to decide what my space will look like – it changes a little every time I get inspired to organize.
Once I saw the Japanese Influence stencil (coming soon), I got an idea of how to add color to my IKEA Alex drawers. I could see each one of the 12 squares as an independent design. To get color that really pops, for me alcohol inks are the way to go!
I'm also sharing a wooden piece I found from a local thrift store, Recycle Ann Arbor ReUse Center - that helps me organize. What's Old is New Again... I painted it, used stencils to personalize it and filled it in a way that helps me be more efficient when I’m creating greeting cards.
In this video, I show the steps of what I did to create the color pops and a tour of my creative space, including how I store my stencils.
Supplies used:
Substrate: Yupo white, a found piece of wood
Paints: Alcohol Inks, Matisse and ColourArte acrylic paints, ZIG paint pen, Liquitex white gesso
Other: Liqutex Gloss Gel, palette knife, Krylon Kamr Varnish finishing spray, blending solution
Stencils: The January 2014 StencilClub Set: Peacock by Jessica Sporn, my own Brush Alphabet Stencil, L645.
The other stencil you see in the video will be released soon. It's "Japanese Influence" by Cynthia Silveri.
