StencilGirl Meets Emerald Creek

Hello and Welcome 

to Day 3 of StencilGirl's Blog Hop with Emerald Creek.

What a great match up!

 I like to give any product I am sent a thorough testing.

Which means I try a lot of things and make a lot of mess!

Emerald Creek sent FOUR of Seth Apter's Baked Texture 

Embossing Powders for me to play with.

Here is one of my favorites from these last few weeks.

I used the Boho Mandala Circle 

on a torn out sheet of sketchbook paper...

which I mounted on top of a black covered journal.

Simple and Masculine.

My second project started out with glass bead gel.

I wanted to see the depth and texture with the embossing powders.

Fun! 

I used the bee from the Fly Away Home Stencil.

I love how this little bee turned out!

This next one began on a little 3"x 5" canvas.

I used Dirty Sand Baked Texture in the middle.

 The Patina Oxide and Deep Sea Baked Textures are on the sides. 

Many layers later....

and some chipboard...

and some paint....

I love it! 

I used the Sequin Grid Waste Stencil

which just melted into the background

 but left a hint of texture on the edge of the canvas...

and the Journal Texture #1 Stencil on the chipboard.

It's perfect hanging on my art room wall.

My last two practice pieces aren't included in any journals or projects yet.

Maybe they'll be a tip-in flap for a future week in my planner...

or an ATC base... or a bookmark... or something? 

I used the Gridded Stencil and Coffee Cup Rings.

I love these blues.

And how about this Boho Butterfly!

The Deep Sea Baked Texture is the outline 

and I painted and shaded the wing colors with a variety of mediums.

Thanks for visiting today.

Good Things Happen When StencilGirl Meets Lindy's Gang

Welcome to Day 2 of this fabulous blog hop!

I have a confession....

I had never used Lindy's Gang Products until this hop...

And now I am on my third order from the company!

The Starburst Shimmer Sprays are my favorite!

Where have they been all my life?

(....insert dramatic crescendo music....)

Seriously, where?

You know I love making art journals.

Sometimes I don't even know I've started another journal

until I am most of the way done with it.

Here I was just having fun spraying those Starburst Shimmer Sprays 

and layering them to see how they mixed and blended.

And then it was...Yep, That's a book cover.

Here is how they started out.

My go-to Curlicue Floral as the base.

Then more layers and delicious shimmery drips.

Until we came to this!

Wow that was fun!

Then two more... but a little different approach.

I have some 12x12 deli paper that I layered and stenciled on.

I experimented with acrylic paints layered with the sprays.

 I used the X-12 and the Gridded stencils in the layers here.

When I was happy with the paper I glued it onto

some cardboard for book covers and proceeded from there.

I love the crinkly deli paper look!

My Green inside book covers are scrapbook paper cut and glued to fit.

Then some Starburst Sprays on top through the Curlicue Floral stencil.

The blue versions are acrylic paints as the base and a Krylon spray paint through 

the 9x12 stencil in the February 2018 StencilClub Kit.

There you go!

I admit I have a dozen projects going on using these

 Lindy's Gang Starburst Shimmer Sprays.

I highly recommend them!

I'm over at StencilGirl Talk today

showing some of what I've made this month! 

Come on over and take a look!

StencilGirl and Imagine Crafts

Today is Day 1 of a 3 day Hop with StencilGirl and Imagine Crafts.

Let's jump in!

The little girl on my Sugar and Spice canvas 

was made with the Judy Judy Stencil by Judy Wise.

I have a boatload of these Memento Dew Drop Inks.

I wanted kind of a vintage feel for this girl 

so I picked out my neutral colors;

the browns, pinks, peaches...

I used Curlicue Wide Borders and Curlicue Floral in the background.

I gave her little red shoes. 

Didn't you have a pair of red tennis shoes when you were little?

And I couldn't resist scratching in the little cars at her feet.

I used the Repetition Stencil to make the print on the dress.

Something simple and vintage like...

Fun!

There you go. 

Of course there is a GiveAway.

One lucky winner will receive both a $25 gift certificate to 

StencilGirl Products AND a $25 gift certificate to Imagine Crafts!

Leave comments on each blog each day for more chances to win.
