Continuing stencil week

Last week, on the blog, there were lots of great projects showcasing Di's fabulous long stencils and new shaped tags that she took to Hochanda in December. Although it's officially 'Anything Goes' this week I thought I would share a vintage/mixed media style sample I made for her.


 The large star is one Di cut for me last year give a rusty patina look.


The words are computer generated.


The stencil is fabulous, I love numbers (and text) and this is a beauty.


I made a couple other tags of this shape which I hope to also share with you soon.


If you would like to see how this tag came together the details can be found at Bumblebees and Butterflies.

Stencils Week- Stencils cover by Monika

hi!
Firstly...as this is my first post of 2019 I wanted to wish you all happy and creative New Year :)

I'm happy to share this amazing project that I have decorated for Tando Creative show at Hochanda, that was showcased back in December.

You can find stencils and covers at Tando shop. There are many to choose from and they come with  greyboard protective covers that can be decorated as you like.

I have decided to do all of the sides in different style, but rusty look was definitely my favourite.






 For this project I have used Decoart Media Fluid Acrylics in: Quinacridone Gold, Metallic Silver, Paynes Grey


I hope you like it!

Stencil Covers by Kaz

It's my turn today to show the sample I made for the stencils for Hochanda.
The {Stencils and Covers} are available individually allowing you to pick which ones you'd like.







I used the {Numbers} and {Rings} with some {white modelling paste}. Once dry, I gave it a coat of {white gesso} and then went to town with paints, pens and stamps.

HOCHANDA Stencil Week

Hello!

Today on the Tando Creative blog I am sharing the stencil covers that I made using the new long stencils that Di brought to HOCHANDA back in December...


To decorate the covers I used two of the new stencils, Keep Out and Barbed Wire. 
To create the rusty effect I used Decoart texture sand paste through the stencils plus extra paste around the edges. 
Once this had dried I painted them with silver fluid acrylic then used a range of yellow, brown and quinacridone gold to make the rust colour.
Finally I added a bit more barbed wire with a stamp by Andy Skinner and archival ink.

Here are the links to all the products used:

* Stencil Covers
* Barbed Wire Stencil
* Keep Out Stencil
* Andy Skinner Stamp Set - Handle With Care
* Decoart - Texture Sand Paste
* Decoart - Fluid Acrylic Paint

Thank you for looking and happy crafting,

Jane xx

January Colour ATC

I'm aiming to try and do more art this year, so what better than do things for the design team I'm meant to be a part of! I'm doing the monthly colour challenges for a start and I'm going to do a series of {Artist Trading Coins}:


I started by using {White Modelling Paste} through the {Flourish Mini Mask} and when dry, {white gessoed} over the whole thing. 
I then added layers of paint until I was happy (it took a bit, I'm out of practise). I finished with doodles, a stamped image and some words from a book.
