MIX26 Stencils! (7/26/13)

[Jeanne S]

Challenge Title: Stencils!
Hostess: Jeanne S
Keyword: MIX26

Hello and welcome to the Mix-Ability challenge! Our goal is to make mixed media, easy, approachable and FUN! We want to convince you that no matter what your style is - you can DO it!
Your projects can be any type � cards, scrapbook layouts, art journal projects, 3D pages.

My challenge today is to use stencils with two types of mediums (ink, paints, gesso, embossing paste, markers, Smooch... you get the idea!)

Don't have a stencil? You can make one with a punched or die cut piece of cardstock, or use a mesh bag or mesh tape (or pretty much anything that has holes). Paper doilies make great stencils!

I used two different media for my stencilling - Lefranc & Bourgeois Gilding Wax, and Stickles.
I used two different stencils too - a bought one and one I made for one of Dina's earlier challenges. Do I get a bonus point for that ;-).

I recently bought a few new stencils, so this was perfect. It got me to actually take one of them out and use it!

I didn't have much success with interpreting a full 6x6 stencil design. So here is some mail art I created with a combination of stencils and stamps. MIX26 Stencils by Far North - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
Thanks for the fun challenge!

[marney]

Loved this challenge.. I forgot to say in the description I also used a dryer sheet under the mesh in one corner.... I do like the rough texture of the dryer sheet and it is a little more dense than tissue paper... AND I did it again- uploaded on a Sunday..... So likely wont show up right away.....
