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!

Happy Moments Journal by Tammy Tutterow

I love making little books that will let me record quick memories.  I love taking photos with my phone at random moment and using them in these little books. 

This month the StencilGirl crew is team up with Canvas Corp to feature projects from both brands.  For my project, I chose to create a fun mini album to record some of those random moments.  I wanted to keep the palette very neutral to play up the kraft cover and to look very sketchy.  The finished stencil design looks complex and detailed but is so easy to create in a few simple layers.

Dry brush Tan High Impact Paint to create a light neutral base.  The base will help future layers stand out more.  Use a heat tool to dry the paint.

Randomly mist over the cover with Ivory Baseboard Spray to add additional base coverage.  Use a dry cloth to blot any excess and then dry with a heat tool.

Lay the Large Bubbles Stencil L007 over the cover.  Use an ink blending tool with foam to dab Boardwalk Glimmer Mist randomly onto the cover through the stencil.  

Tip: Tap the foam onto your craft sheet before dabbing onto the cover to help remove excess ink.  You don't want to apply too much of the fluid ink at one time, it is better to use less in multiple layers.  Heavy applications could seep under the stencil.

Gently blot any excess ink with a dry cloth and dry with a heat tool.

Place the Large Bubbles Stencil back in place.  Use an ink blending tool with foam to dab Coconut Shell Glimmer Glaze randomly to the cover.  Apply the glaze in some of the same areas as the Boardwalk Glimmer Mist and also some areas the were not previously inked.  This will create three shades of color.  Use a heat tool to dry the cover.

Mist some of the Boardwalk Glimmer Mist onto your craft sheet.  Use a water brush to pick up some of the color.  Brush the color onto the top edges of some of the bubbles.  I focused on the bubbles in the upper left  and left side of my cover.  Use a heat tool to dry the ink.

Place the Large Bubbles Stencil in place again.  Use a graphite pencil to outline a few random bubbles.  You can outline them completely or just along the left edge.

Smudge over the pencil lines with your finger to help blend and soften them.

Place the Large Bubbles Stencil in place again.  Place the Doodle It Tornado Bloom Stencil on top of the Large Bubbles Stencil.  Use an ink blending tool with foam to apply Tan High Impact Paint to the cover through the two layers of stencils.

The bubbles stencil will act like a mask allowing you to add the doodled design to only the bubbles on the cover.  Dry the paint with a heat tool.

Place the Large Bubbles Stencil in place again.  Place the Mini Dots Stencil on top of the Large Bubbles Stencil.  Use an ink blending tool with foam to apply Coconut Shell Glimmer Glaze to the cover through the two layers of stencils. Use a heat tool to dry the glaze.

Fold a one yard piece of Red Ticking from Canvas Corp Products in half.  Sew along the raw edge of the fabric to create a long tie for the journal.  Layer the ticking tie with a scrap of yellow burlap.  Adhere both to the center of the front and back covers of the journal.

Add machine stitching along the edges of the covers to secure the tie in place.

Tear a journaling card down to about 1" x 2".  Use an ink blending tool to add Gathered Twigs Distress Ink to the edges of the card and journal cover.

Add a hand written title to the piece of journal card.  Layer the journal card with a small die cut heart.  Adhere both the cover over the journal tie.

I simply love how the different layers of stenciling combine to create such depth. There are so many variations to the colors, all from using only 4 colors!  I love how applying the different layers randomly make them flow in and out of each other.

I always start with the cover on a book like this.  It helps me to set the tone and style of the inside.  I can not wait to dive in and finish it inside!
