Put A Bird On It StencilGirl® Collaboration


Hi all!  Tina Walker here with my latest StencilGirl® Collaboration project and post I call, "Put A Bird On It'.  What exactly is that, you ask?  Well...let me explain.

Awhile back, I sent 3 of my art friends a stack of eco-printed and dye-pot dyed papers.  (See, I have a problem when I get involved with an eco-dye or dye-pot dye sess and I want to dye #allthethings)

Each person created a journal out of the papers, in any shape, size, or form they wanted.  Each artist then selected 3 separate pages for the 'ground zero' or base layer of stenciling.   This is where it gets all special and stuff.  ;)  For this BASE LAYER + other, each artist had select just ONE stencil for the entire project.  Yup, just ONE stencil!  But that is where it gets fun.  Getting creative with all the ways to use 1 stencil gets my creative juices flowing.

Once the base layer was complete, each artist shipped their journal to the next artist in line.  That artist then added another layer of stenciling to the 3 pages, using their ONE stencil.  Once complete, they shipped that journal to the next in line, and so on and so forth, until each artist received their journals back from all participants.

As if that wasn't special enough, we had to go EXTRA SPECIAL for the finale, and finish off our 3 pages by 'Putting a Bird On It', using a variety of StencilGirl® bird themed stencils. Before I type anymore, let me share the cover to my journal.


Because we believe in sharing the love each artist video'd their work, layer by layer, for y'all to experience.  You get to watch it from bare page to finished page, for all 4 artists!  Love that!

I asked each artist to share a beauty shot of their favorite spread + a link to their YT channel video, so PLEASE be sure to check out each person's videos!  I'm sure they will full of inspiration and ideas.

Up first is Andrea Chebeleu!


WOW!  I love this layout SO much!  The colors, the design, and the subtle stencil magic!

Andrea used these 2 stencils in her journal:

INCREDIBLE!  The bold use of black, really highlights the subtle layer beneath!

DeeDee used these stencils on her pages:

Although the challenge was to only work on 3 pages, I can't wait to dig into this journal and finish her off!
