Hello friends, Julie Peterson, @nuthouse73, mixed media artist and creative maker, here to share my love of stencils. Stencils are such a versatile tool and can be used to enhance almost any surface. I’ve been experimenting with transparent and translucent substates and I'm sharing with you today stenciling on transparency film.
Supplies
Transparency film for inkjet
Acrylic Ink
Dishes or a palette
Make-up sponges
Stencils:
S405 Bullseye by Mary Beth Shaw
L477 Versailles by Nathalie Kalbach
L827 Emotions and feelings by Carolyn Dube
Grab a sheet of the transparency film and make sure it's on the right side, the side that you would print on if you were sending it through the printer. Decide what colors of ink you want and put some in your dish or pallet, get your makeup sponge dab small amount of ink on the sponge, tap some off, you don't want too much ink on the sponge. Start of with light pounces, making light layers. Sometimes you might have to go over it a couple of times depending on how dark you want the image.
Now that you got the gist of the process you can explore layering two stencils together and using multiple colors on one stencil.
Using the transparency film
You can do a mass make and have them on hand for when inspiration strikes. They can sometimes be a little tricky to get stuck down. My favorite ways are a stapler, sewing machine, and double sided tape. They can make great stand alone pages for your journal or cut them up to enhance whatever art you're making, even the smallest pieces can be used.
