StencilGirl Meets Colourcraft


Here we are at Day 2 of the StencilGirl and Colourcraft Blog Hop.


I had so much fun playing with these products!


I opted for the Brusho Cool Colour Pack with  Brusho Thickener
as well as Prussian Blue, Ultramarine, Turquoise,
 Leaf Green and Sea Green.
WOW!


After experimenting on paper and in journals I thought
I would try the Brusho's on canvas paper to see if I could sew something.
I started with layers and layers of the different 
Brusho blues and greens through various stencils... 
in my eagerness to try sewing it, I used art crayons for a quick final layer.


It turns out you CAN sew zippers into canvas paper!
Hmmmm...That opens up a lot of possibilities!



I made a simple bag with my first experimental canvas paper.



Then I played with a few other canvas papers and stencils and Brusho paints.
Layers and Layers and Layers of Fun!


Another Colourcraft Product I received to play with was this 


The gold paint showed up so beautifully on these canvas papers
and on top of the Brusho paint layers.




Stencils I used in these projects were:


I quickly spray painted stencils on the back sides of the canvas paper
so it would add some interest when opening these zippered bags. 



There you go! I love these finished bags.

  41. So pretty! Do you have to add a layer of something to protect the Brushos from running? I would be afraid to get the bag wet. Amanda (at) meadowdance (dot) org
