Red White and Burlap Girl Journal

Greetings and Salutations! Carol Baxter here for the StencilGirl matchup with Canvas Corp.

I took put a stencil on it literally. I chose just one ~ the 6"sq from Mary Beth Shaw's Private Collection 15.1 for StencilClub.

I played with this one stencil ALL DAY LONG. (It's going to turn up in later projects as I kept switching back and forth between the project at hand and some art journal pages.)

Stenciling on burlap was a blast! I had a big smile on my face with how well the fibers took the paint each and every time. I saw the post about coasters and I am game to try that next time I need a house-warming gift!)

Supplies in addition to the stencil:
1 rectangle of red striped cotton duck cloth and matching ribbon
4 pieces burlap, including 1 red
Red,White, Blue, and Turquoise Paint
sponges
5 Brads
Sewing Machine
Photos
Deckle Trimmer

Once I had the pages stenciled the way I wanted them, I carefully sewed the binding.

I must tell you, those dots on the round wheel thing still make me happy! I was simply stenciling away, not too worried about being exact (hard for me!) daubing away with white paint on my sponge.

See below ~ the dots are cute on the stripes too!

I have to tell you that the brads became a necessary creative accident. I really meant to sew the picture on the striped cloth and then sew cloth onto the burlap. When I realized what I had NOT done, I figured I might as well accent her earrings.

This project was pure play. I hope I've inspired you to go and have fun with your stencils and use them in a way you might not have tried before.

Hi Stencil Friends!

Janet here! 

Made By Janet is my new column on StencilGirl Talk. 

I hope to share all kinds of artwork and projects I create

using StencilGirl Stencils.

Let's start out with a Junk Journal I created from Canvas Corp Brand

 for our April Match Up!

There was such a variety of papers and textures CCB sent us!

7gypsies Kraft Starter Journal

Burlap Sheets

Burlap Fabric in Aqua, Brown, and Red

Red Ticking

Canvas Fringe

I immediately thought of a Junk Journal because I wanted to use them ALL!

On the cover of my Junk Journal I used the beautiful Pink and Brown sprays 

from the Tattered Angels Calendar Mist Kit- Easter.

I glued the Black & Ivory Damask Paper onto the spine.

I thought it went beautifully with the two stencils I used,

Damask Medium Stencil and my own stencil design, Curlicue Floral.

And on the inside of my Junk Journal....

Mary Beth Shaw's Bullseye Stencil and my Curlicue Wide Border Stencil.

Moroccan Doily with the ticking fabric and burlap.

Curlicue Dance

Bicycle Borders Stencil on burlap and on tags they sent us.

Rows of Triangles Stencil

Curlicue Allover

Bullseye Stencil

Mmmmmm...Love it!
