Hello Stencil Friends!
Welcome to Day 2 of the StencilGirl and Walnut Hollow Blog Hop.
I chose this Square Tray to build my project on.
I was wanting something bright and cheerful....
A good project for the gray end of winter.
I had been going through my stash for another project
and had pulled out bits and pieces of papers, gelli prints and collage materials.
This made the perfect start for the bottom of the tray.
There is Mary Beth Shaw's Bullseye Stencil.
And the Repetition Stencil... as well as a sphere from
Here is the Hash Marks Stencil and Rows of Triangles.
I used a variety of stamps and magazine scraps and song lyrics.
There is tissue paper and napkins and scrapbook paper...
As well as Acrylic Paints and Markers.
I wanted some contrast to set off the collage,
so I painted the inside walls of the tray a nice creamy yellow
and mixed a nice turquoise for the outside walls.
To top it off I lightly added Journal Texture #2.
I gave the insides several coats of varnish for protection.
I love how it turned out.
