stencil storage , GIVEAWAY & shipping update...

today I'm sharing the back cover of
 an art parts stencil binder...
  I use this binder to store my stencils & 
keep them organized...

below you'll see Megan again,
 combined with some new things & some from past releases...

one reason I was so happy to 
FINALLY get
distress stains in a spray form 
was the option to use them 
on larger art parts...

art parts, like this set 
that holds the smaller stamp sets &
doubles as an art journal...

with the distress spray stains, 
you can color all 4 sides of the binders 
in under 5 minutes...

art parts can certainly be inked with distress ink & the blending tool...

or...

use the sprays to make it
 super quick & E A S Y...

for my covers, I 
misted them with the stains & I was done in 3.5 SECONDS...
seriously...

just dry the stain, then add shading to the edges with the blending tool...

I used weathered wood distress spray stain 
& broken china spray stain as my base colors
 for my stencil binder...

distress spray stains 
are extra awesome on larger art parts...
in addition to being quick, they give beautiful smooth coverage & several colors can be sprayed to blend before drying...
they might look blotchy when sprayed onto art parts, because they are wetting the paper surface, but as they dry...
PERFECTION!

you'll see the new "borders" stencil 
used 2 ways...
at the top of the cover, I inked thru the stencil just once, using sky blue archival ink...

same stencil at the bottom, but with leaf green, red geranium & sky blue...

I started at the bottom & used sky blue, then repositioned the stencil to mask off the blue inked areas & then added red geranium...
then moved the stencil up to cover the red geranium & added the leaf green...

I stopped at 3 rows, but you could easily continue the pattern to make a large multi colored background or fill the whole front of a card...

in any colors you choose!

or...
you can stamp thru the stencil to add text or polka dots on just one row...

or...

you can add embossing paste to just one row for a cool textured border...

these days I'm addicted to 
the gold metallic paste...
and it would also be cool to use 
the translucent paste
to accent just one stenciled row 
& allow the color to show thru...

there's lots of possibilities with 
this simple stencil...

I LOVE the large sentiment from an earlier release...
combined with a new one...

LOVE the chain holding the heart...
the heart was cut from 
my new "magic mat board", 
using tim's Sizzix die...

the black heart is embossed 
with red geranium embossing powder...

after the powder cooled, I added 
the remnant rub word
to the center, with the new remnant rub tool...

you'll also see subtle text (LCS037 botanical art) stamped in the background with watering can archival...



Megan was stamped with jet black archival, onto newsprint that was added to
the clear version of
clearly for art (CFA) 
with glue n seal...
then I cut her out...





I used fern green with the sunburst stencil, to give her a halo effect...

I changed the flower in her hair & used just the flower from this stamp...

 the flower was stamped twice onto CFA that is covered with newsprint...

after heating the CFA, the flower can be shaped for dimension...
I LOVE this adhesive foam for layering & for adding CFA to projects...
it has REALLY good adhesive...
and it's black, 
so it's not noticeable between the layers...

oh...that little butterfly...
 is a stencil from the pansy SiSi...
stenciled onto CFA newsprint & cut out to create a custom embellishment...
it's attached to Megan with the tiny attacher...


the stencil binder comes with a medium ring, 
but as your stencil collection grows, 
just change the ring to a larger size...
the binder will grow & can hold as many stencils
 as fit on any size ring...

shipping update!

stamp sets, SiSi's, background stamps and stencils started shipping a few weeks ago...

 early this week...
be watching your fav store...
or check out your favorite on line...


now about that GIVEAWAY...


since I LOVE my blog friends...
I'll give this NEW stamp set to a random commenter...



it has my favorite little hosta stamp & also the flower I used today in Megan's hair...

I chose this set because the LOVE sentiment in the lower right corner is perfect 
for Valentine's Day...

just leave a comment & you're entered...
super SIMPLE!
Rick will draw a random winner before the next blog post...
GOOD LUCK!

no chocolate for me...
I'd rather have supplies to...

make art!
wendy
ps...
I hope your Valentine's Day is PERFECT...

    Love your stencil cover. You make this look so easy. I haven't tried the distress sprays yet but hope to soon. I've added the starter kit to my wish list. I've had my eye on your technique for a while and would love to give it a try so I might out to add a couple of more things to my list. I'm almost with you on the Chocolate, but have to have it for Valentine's Day. Of course if someone did want to slip in some art supplies I'd be very happy!

    Brilliant cover Wendy, just what I need for all my stencils which are currently in packets in a drawer. Thanks for the inspiration, I'm definitely going to do a version of this to hold them all. The stamp set would be a great starting point too!! Thanks for the chance to win your lovely stamps.
