Wheel In The Sky!

Hi Stencil Lovers!

Janet here...

using the Wheel In The Sky stencil

designed by Kristin Powers.

I will admit....

I was attracted to this stencil because of this big fancy circle...

If you know me, you know I love medallions...

This seemed like a great starting point!

This stencil is also the Deal of the Day over at StencilGirl Products!

I rubbed the Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink 

through the medallion and doodled around it.

I left the center clear until I saw the 'Love Matters Most'...

And I knew exactly what belonged in that circle.

I traced the words onto deli paper then mod podged them where I wanted.

The medallion makes a perfect frame for your perfect quote.

These particular words are from Brave Girl's Club and Melody Ross.

It seemed appropriate using this quote on the last page of an art journal

to sum up the Brave Girl on-line class I am in.

One more project using this big medallion.....

I love the other elements on this same stencil...

I thought I would place one of those 'satellites' into the center space.

I had the Birds In Trees stamp from Lost Coast Designs stamped onto tissue paper.

I glued that down onto one side of my journal then offset the big medallion

and rubbed the olive green StazOn Ink Pad over it.

Then placed the satellite in the middle and rubbed ink over it, too.

I used my white Posca Paint Pen to define and brighten the inside spaces.

I added some details with other markers as well as my black Posca Paint Pen.

Simple yet Effective.

I love how you can see the birds in trees underneath the green.

I love layers!

I think this would work really well with a patterned scrapbook paper...

or patterned napkins or patterned tissue paper showing through from below.

There you have it!

Playing with Paints and Stencils!

What Fun!

Come see what else I do on my blog, Happy Reminders.

Thanks for visiting!

Brave Girls Club/StencilGirl Giveaway

*****GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED*****

Maria here today...

No....today I'm not talking about stencils. 

Today I am talking about 

YOU!

I'm talking about taking a minute to yourself, to read what I'm going to share with you-- because if you do--it can change your life, seriously. The way you create, the way you feel and most importantly to remember what is truly important in this crazy world.

Keep reading for an incredible giveaway opportunity!

I told Mary Beth about Soul Comfort she stopped and she listened. She is doing this with me and I hope you will too. About 3 years ago I was introduced to Brave Girls Club owned by Melody Ross and Kathy Wilkins, sisters and two ladies that I am now proud to call my friends. They changed my life--seriously and now I want to give one of you that chance too.

If you are not familiar with Brave Girls Club you can read about it all HERE. Melody, Kathy and all the people at Brave Girls Club have a new class starting soon called Soul Comfort. 

Soul Comfort is a fresh new concept using art and journaling as a means to relax and comfort yourself and to get grounded while dealing with the craziness of every-day living.

This course if full of beautiful projects to fuel your creativity in very simple and easy ways that are meditational and relaxing , beautiful comforting things that will have your soul infused into them so that you want to keep them forever.

Melody and Kathy gave me a free class to give away on my personal blog. Instead, I wanted to give as many people as I know the opportunity to win the class so Mary Beth and I decided for me to do the post here on StencilGirl Talk.

Here is Melody to tell you a little about the class....

She also has two more video's for you to watch about the class HERE.

You can find out more about registration for Soul Comfort HERE. 

So, what do you have to do to win this free spot in Soul Comfort??

Watch Melody's video's and then answer this question below in the comments:

Why do you think women have a hard time with self care? And how do you think this 

Brave Girl class might help you get through the holiday season?
