Time for Butterflies Art Journal Pages with Stencil 1

Hello everyone, and welcome back to my regularly scheduled post.  As I am sure you know, we have the great pleasure of working with our monthly sponsor ... Yes,  Stencil 1  has some absolutely wonderful stencil designs and a wide variety, as well. I am sure you will find something to your liking. My particular stencil came with three sets of butterflies.  In my  previous post , you can see the altered tag I made using one set. Today, I am going to play with yet another one of the images from the set and use it in my art journal.  You may remember the little mini art journal I made and began sharing some of the pages with you.  Click here  to see that post.  To prevent further paint seepage through the middle pages of the book, I added a strip of  washi tape  down the center.  Next, apply a coat of  white gesso  over both pages as well as the center tag.  Allow the gesso to dry.  (no photo) ...

No Butterflies Mixed Media Tag with Stencil 1

Hello everyone!  I have a special extra posting for you today, and I get to play with a beautiful stencil from our April Sponsor ... Yes,  Stencil 1  makes some really fabulous stencils, not only individually, but also in sets.  I hope you will visit them and check out what they offer. Stencils are so much fun and quite addictive.  Today, I want to share a quick and easy project using a postcard tag, stencils, paints, and inks. I chose this postcard tag from Altered Pages and my Stencil 1 butterfly stencil. Tear strips of  paper  and adhere to the back (blank side) of the tag with  gel medium , let dry. Add a wash of  white gesso  over the tag to tie the background together. Spread Orchid Velvet Art Anthology dimensional paint with a spatula through the open butterfly stencil.  Let dry. Can you see the dimension in this photo?   Sponge  white gesso  through detail stencil and let dry. ...
