STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday (Part 2)

Hello crafty peeps!

I'm back with my second installment of

STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday!

I'm still having so much fun crafting with the new

Faces stencils, so this time around I've created another

card and a mixed media panel using the same three stencils:

Faces - Gorgeous,  Dots and Dashes, and Swirly Blooms! 

First is the card I made:

 After sponging black ink through the 

Faces-Gorgeous stencil, I covered the panel with the Swirly Blooms

stencil, and sponged three colors of ink around one side of the panel.

I repeated the same for the other half of the panel with the 

Dots and Dashes stencil. I die cut from black card stock and gold glitter paper

the Fearless word die, stacked and glued offset, and adhered to the card.

She really IS gorgeous!

For my other project, I made a mixed media canvas panel:

I. Had. So. Much. Fun. Making. This!!
Here's a photo process. Hope you have your favorite
beverage at hand. LOL!

I started with 5" x 7" canvas panel, and after the coat of Gesso dried,
I added a few different green paint colors with a brayer.

Next I sponged a light blue paint through the

Dots and Dashes stencil:

Over that I sponged yellow, orange and fuchsia paints through

the Swirly Blooms stencil:

While that was drying, I heat embossed the three flower images in black EP

from the Just Because stamp set multiple times. I realized that I needed  A LOT 

more flowers than what I originally started with (in the next pics). I 

wound up heat embossing each flower about 9 or 10 times.

I did a quick and easy water color technique where you swipe Distress Inks 

directly to the paper, spritz with water, and leave it alone to do it's thing

while it dries. Then I fussy cut all. of. those. flowers!

I die cut an oval in some scrap paper and used the negative as a 

mask to add beige paint in the cut out. I wasn't heavy handed as I

still wanted the pattern underneath to show through.

When that dried, I added black Gesso through the

Faces - Gorgeous stencil. This was an experiment, and I found out

that you have to go light handed with Gesso as it's not as thick

as embossing paste, and will run a bit (see lips). Luckily, what I 

planned for the hair would cover most of my boo boo. LOL!

I stamped the sentiment from the Bold Sentiments-Hashtag Authentic

stamp set in black Staz On ink. Because of the texture of the canvas,

you won't get good coverage, but I fixed that by going over

it with a black Artist PITT pen.

The last thing was gluing all those flowers around her head to

become her hair. I just love how this came out!!

It looks adorable on a tiny easel!

You made it to the end! Thanks for sticking it out until the end!
