I am at CHA debuting all my stencils along with having fun doing make & takes at the Crafter's Workshop booth. I will continue to share my summer stencil release here on the blog so you can see all 19 in detail. i have been working hard to bring you creative inspiration. So far you have seen:
Sweet Home is reminescent of Urban Landscape but pays homage to our dwellings, for home is where love dwells. You can use the shadow or line drawing by themselves or combine them for a stellar look.
These samples of the 12x12 and 6x6 sizes are courtesy of Alexi who wanted to play around with my new stencils. She broke them in before i could even get to them using them in her art journal.
Can i tell you how much i enjoyed making this layout? I love those bright cheerful houses all stacked up to tell the story of how my home is with Andrew, wherever he may be.
Raindrops has a variety of sizes scattered across the page giving a great random feel. I love all the sizes, both fat, skinny, and small. The 12x12 looks great combined with 6x6 size.
Alexi did these samples as well playing around with colorful backgrounds and raindrops. I like seeing her style emerge with my stencils.
On this layout, i first embossed the raindrops using clear UTEE and then painted the layout using spray inks and watercolors. I love the way the drops pop up against the color.
Switchback is a great background stencil that reminds me of our mountain roads in Colorado. I love the way this background can be broken down in columns, rows, and squares.
I really love this background stamp. Alexi had fun with these two using spray inks on the 12x12 and distress inks on the 6x6 stencil.
I used the 12x12 with distress inks on white cardstock. Then i cut them into strips and stacked them on top of each other create an awesome backdrop to my photo. The strip behind the title and at the top is the same technique with the 6x6 stencil on a manilla tag. I will be doing this again!
The stencils are debuting at the show today but i thought you might like a sneak of upcoming stencils & samples. You can see all my stencils on the Crafter's Worksop site, And So On #383 to Mix Tape #401. I have been a very busy girl completing 19 layouts for The Crafter's Workshop booth. Stay tuned these will all appear here on the blog!
