February Challenge - Stencilling

Another challenge for Craft Stamper Magazine's Take It Make It Challenge.  The theme for February is Stencilling.

I used a 'Hanging Chunky Board' from PaperArtsy and stencilled with Grunge Paste roughly through a diamond patterned stencil and set to one side to dry. 

Grunge Pasted Board

Once dry, the board had a couple of coats of white gesso, followed by various colours of acrylic paint randomly.  I made an effort to try and use colours I wouldn't normally, including mixing some very pale pinks.

Pastel Painted Board

Some white card was also painted with the same colours on both sides.

Painted Card

Once all the paint was dry, images were stamped in chalk ink randomly over the edges of the board and on the painted card.   Chalk ink works really well over acrylic paint, I like to heat set them once I've finished stamping.

Finished Painted and Stamped Masterboard for Flowers

Shapes were cut from the masterboard to make flowers.  Some were made from spiral dies, others from forming with petals.

The mixture of flowers were mounted onto the board, along with some other painted flower embellishments made from paperclay, using a silicon mould.
