Hi All!

It was about 15 years ago to see the Dreamweaver stencils at local rubber stamp show.
As a stamper, stencil is kind a close tool, of course I purchased a few at the show for trial.  That time, demo was coloring with pastel, rather simple, yet so beautiful.
Since those days, tools and materials have been added to stencil world, and each one of them make the project more fun.

This time, I use Imagine Crafts' Creative Medium as texture paste, in addition to NEON inks.



Supplies

Dreamweaver Stencils

Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko
Radiant NEON inks
Creative Medium - Vintage
Memento Black
Kaleidacolor - Denim
Stencil Brush

Cardstock

HOW TO:

Tape down the stencil to the cardstock

With stencil brush, color center of flower with Radiant NEON yellow ink

Add Radiant NEON orange and coral to the petals.  Wipe off the brush

Base coat with Radiant NEON yellow to stems and leaves.

Add Radiant NEON blue here and there

continue adding colors of Radiant NEON green.  Let it dry

Take generous amount of Creative Medium Vintage over the stencil plate

Scrape off excess

Remove the plate carefully

Hi All!  I've received fun package from Altered Pages for this event sometime ago.  I could imagine so many possibilities with these old book pages in many languages, sizes and themes, in addition to a lot of ribbons, laces and embellishments, even um rubber stamp sheet.
I love the collage sheet with vintage girls faces and doll poem.


My project turned out something recycle. I found this tag was too cool to toss, it's made of chipboard and interesting shape, even ball chain attached, so kept them for my art project, and this is great opportunity to use.
