Giveaway and Art Journaling with Dreamweavers Stencils
This is Cyndi from the Dreamweaver Stencils team and its my turn for our weekly tutorial. Today I am using my stencils in my Art Journal. Above is the page that I created.
I began by spreading Seedless Preserves Distress Paint onto my pages. I then added Peeled Paint Distress Paint to the bottom of the page and Adirondack Aqua acrylic paint to the top. I spritzed the pages heavily with water and let the paint drip and blend a bit and then wiped up some excess with a paper towel.
Next I masked off the top part f the pages and then sprayed white ink through the DWS Mosaic Swirls stencil, repeating this across the middle of the page.
This is what the page looked like at this point:
Next I used the Paisley background stencil and sprayedGreen Tea Memories Mist in the same manner.
I sponged Black acrylic paint through the Butterfly stencil, carrying the paint slightly on the outside of the stencil and connecting the paint to some of the edges to “ground” the butterflies.
This is what the butterflies looked like:
I thought it would be fun to add some texture using the grass portions of the Mushroom stencil. Using a Spectrum Noir marker I drew directly through the grass areas and then connected them after removing the stencil.
Next I thought I would add some embossing paste for texture, and I actually didn’t even tape the stencil down. I applied it in different parts of the stencil randomly around the edges scraping it on like one would use gesso. The stencil used for the border is Large Flourish.
I finished the page off by painting a half #10 tag with the Seedless Preserves and spraying the same colors and stencils that I used on the background then added a sentiment from a new Tim Holtz set.
Here is a closer shot of the spray, paste, and painted sections where they overlap.
I had a blast working with my stencils on these pages and I hope you enjoyed the tutorial!
