Hi Stencil Friends!
Happy New Year!
Janet here, to share my art with you.
I'm pretty sure lots of you out there pick a meaningful word to focus your year on.
....One Little Word....
.....Word of the Year.....
My 2020 word is Breathe.
Here I played with smooshing and layering Marabu Art Crayons
with my fingers to create an interesting background.
That's what I need to focus on this year.
Just Breathe.
On a side note~ I've been using Marabu Art Crayons awhile
but this is the first time I've tried the blender.
I thought it was pretty cool how it worked.
There's so much more to learn!

More Marabu Crayon blending along with these stencils:
My 2020 Wanderlust Journal
I finished this Wanderlust Journal in December
and then decided it was too small and started compiling a larger journal.
I used the 6x6 November 2019 StencilClub Kit stencil
with a matte gel for some nice depth.
I smooshed the Marabu Crayons around and let them dry completely
before I sprayed it with a matte clear protective finish.
I did this Journal cover in a very different color palette so
I could actually find it at a glance on my art table!
The first week's lesson for Wanderlust 2020 using Curlicue Wide Borders
Other Journals and Pages
I used the Marabu Art Crayons really heavy-handed here
through the 4x4" stencil in the March 2015 StencilClub Kit.
If you took your fingernail down the surface you could scrape the pigment right off.
You might think I used a dimensional gel or modeling paste... but no.
It took extra long to become set and then
I sprayed a matte clear protective finish on it.
It is so nice and smooth and there is no chance of scraping the pigment off.

The stencils I have translated into handcarved stamps are:
And why didn't I make my Word Of The Year into a stamp?
Heading over to correct that right now!
Thanks for visiting with me this month.
I hope your 2020 is healthy and happy.
See you next time.

Loving ALL of this eye candy! <3
ReplyDeleteusing the stencils to cut rubber stamps is a great idea. I will have to try on some of mine. Great job
