Lanie Frick: Video Tutorial

Hi, everyone! Lanie Frick here with a video tutorial for creating a hot pink colt!

MATERIALS : Colt/Filly Resting Stencil

             Light Pink Cardstock

                          Acrylic Paint; Dark Red or Burgundy, Medium Pink or Hot Pink, White

                          Makeup Sponge

                          Small Round Brush with point

Stencil the foal in Dark Red with makeup sponge and let dry.

Using small amounts of water on the brush, pick up some pink paint and color inside the foal making some areas darker than others. Mix some Dark Red with Pink to make darker areas.

Paint the spot on foal’s forehead white and wisp in a few sky clouds.

Quick Fact (QF) Baby horses are called foals. A male foal is called a colt and a female foal is called a filly.

A stencil for Thanksgiving and smaller Painterly Horses have arrived!

Hello! Are you running into fall? We are!

And we are pleased to deliver 3 new stencils this week - 2 smaller beautiful and painterly horse stencils by Lanie Frick and a fabulous Thanksgiving stencil (The leaf mask is even included!) by June Pfaff Daley.

Thanksgiving Stencil with Leaf Mask is a 9"x12" Stencil.

Place cards, dish towels, and greeting cards are three of the uses June Pfaff Daley has put to the holiday stencil she designed.

June wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving and writes, "For my Thanksgiving table this year, I plan to have a place card for each family member to open and write inside what they are grateful for. I will save these after and use in my art journal."
June has provided a template for the inside that will make 6 cards. You can download the pdf via this link.

Gather:

• Thanksgiving Stencil L744 by StencilGirl® Products
• White cardstock - each 8.5”x11” sheet will make 6 cards
• alcohol ink - fall colors
• acrylic paint - fall colors
• stenciled maple leaves 
• burlap
• hot glue
• sewing machine or embroidery thread & needle

DIY:

1. Lightly spritz the blank side of the cardstock with alcohol ink in fall colors. Let dry.
2. Stencil a variety of overlapping maple leaves on top. Be careful not to allow the colors to become too dark.
3. Fold each card in half and stencil the word grateful, paying attention to how the card will open in relation to someone writing on the inside.
4. If you wish, write the name of each guest on the other side of the card.

Silverware holder:

1. Sew or stitch pockets out of burlap strips folded up.
2. Hot glue a maple leaf on top of the burlap. 

June planned her card compositions with stenciled images, scraps of fabric and additional cardstock. On several of the cards, she used colored pencils and gelly roll pens to further embellish.

DIY:

1. Stencil the maple leaf in several places on each card and envelope with red, yellow, and orange paint.
2. Stencil other images onto cream colored cardstock, let dry, and cut out.
3. Compose your cards with scraps of fabric from your stash. 
4. Glue or stitch the elements together.
5. Embellish more with colored pens and pencils.

June writes, "I thought a stenciled dish towel would make a thoughtful hostess gift this holiday season. To start, I went to my local Home Goods store and purchased a pack of dishtowels. These were extremely inexpensive and saved the work of making the towel itself.

To embellish I used a khaki fabric I had on hand-cut to fit the width of the dishtowel. The height of each piece of khaki fabric varies but is roughly 6 inches. I stenciled my designs in the center of this piece of fabric and then sewed it to the dishtowel. Next, I raided my stash for trims and sewed on more whimsical touches to go with each towel.

Horse Around in Your Art Journal, Paint, or Make Cards!

Horse 1 and Horse 2, designed by Lanie Frick, will gallop onto your handmade cards and into your art journal and scrapbook layouts, mixed media artwork, and more. Use them with paints, inks, watercolors... even encaustics! These hand-drawn beauties are smaller than the equine steeds of Lanie's Norman Horse and Running Horse Stencil.

Horse 1 is a 6"x6" stencil.

Horse 2 is a 6"x6" stencil.

Horse stencils are thundering in by new designer Lanie Frick!

You asked and we listened.

Our newest stencil designer, artist Lanie Frick, was not born in a barn but considers the one she has now as much her living space as her house. Who better to create stencils depicting Norman and a running horse, a colt/filly, horseback riders, horses touching noses, and a horseshoe stencil.

Colt / Filly Resting, S713, 6" x 6" and Touching Noses, M266, 4" x 4"

Colt / Filly Resting, is a sweet stencil designed by Lanie Frick. When the colt/filly rises on her wobbly knees and finds her stride, watch out. For now, this baby animal is ready to grace the pages of your art journal, become the focus of a painting, or warm hearts on a card.

The animals on the farm where Lanie Frick grew up taught her about living with nature, paying attention to seasonal shifts, how to read body language, and how we communicate via the resonance of our intention.  The mare and foal on the Touching Noses stencil reflect that love.

Gone Riding, L734, 12" x 9"

Take your artwork on a journey with Lanie Frick’s Gone Riding Stencil. Just like the three figures on their valiant mounts, set your pace and find your artistic joy as you escape the stresses of life in the sanctuary of art.

Norman Horse & Running Horse, L735, 9" x 12"

A Norman horse (top) and a running horse (bottom) grace this stencil designed by Lanie Frick. Cut the stencil in half to make them easier to set free in your artwork.

Horses Stenciled on Rice Paper

Horses by Moonlight

Horseshoe, M265, 4" x 4"

Holding the luck, raining down luck, or shod on a horse, Lanie Frick’s Horseshoe stencil is ready for play in your artwork, be it painting, journal, or greeting card. If the shoe fits, the luck is yours (to share).
