I am playing with Stencils to make wonderful bases for ATCs.
APRIL is ATC month and we have gifts for YOU. Share your ATCs on our FACEBOOK PAGE to be included in our weekly giveaways.
The idea is to add layer upon layer of stencils and paints. Move the stencil around for more designs. Use 6 x 6 or 12 x 12 or ?? I cut my papers into strips and then ATC sizes once they were dry using my Fiskars cutter.
You can mix any inks or even stamp pads with mediums. One thing I learned was to run a distress oxide inkpad over the stencil, which will stay on top so that when you apply a medium it will pick up the color and move onto the paper. I used Prima Art Alchemy paint, as well as alcohol inks mixed with a medium. I used a dauber and a spatula.

We all have those papers in our stash that are not really favorites and this is a great way to use them up.

I added Prills with glue to create an undulating pattern which helped create my framed ATC triptych shown above. I was pretty pleased with the results. Truth be told, that is a dollar store frame, what a find!
I kept going with more papers to create a stash of papers I can use for ATC's or any project.
