Artistcellar Stencils on Canvas

It is Tuesday so I will be sharing some work done with Artistcellar Stencils. I am also joining in at Eclectric Paperie today with their "Stencils" challenge.  If you get a chance pop over there and take a look at some of the entries, they're very inspiring.

I am using two different stencils on this mixed media canvas, one is taken from Jill K. Berry's Map Art Series.  I am using the small rose from the Global Compass Rose stencil.  The other stencil I'm using is from TCW, it is called Raindrops (TCW 400).  I have several canvases that I was not happy with the original work I did on them, so I just painted over that and started again.  I bought some of Dina Wakley's new Heavy Body Acrylic Paint last week and I've been anxious to try it out.  The color I painted on the discarded canvas is her Blackberry Violet color and I must say it is gorgeous, it has a really nice texture to it.  Here is the finished canvas and then I have a short tutorial showing how I did this in the event that you're interested.

First I painted my canvas with Dina's Blackberry Violet acrylic paint.  You can still see the outline of the feathers stencil underneath the paint from the original work.

Then I used a stencil called Raindrops with white gesso, I applied the gesso with a paint brush.

.  I lifted the stencil straight up to keep the design clean.  When I finished I made sure to wash the gesso off of the stencil and also out of the paintbrush right away.

I used the Rose stencil from Jill's new series and stenciled just the small rose with Modeling Paste.

This canvas became a little surreal when I turned it upright and then attached the digital art from Hidden Vintage Studios at DeviantScrap.com.

I sponged a small amount of black acrylic paint over the roses and around the edges of the canvas.  I attached a piece of black twine to the balloon and it is finished.  The entire canvas measures 7 1/2" by 9 1/2".

Thanks so much for stopping by, if you have a chance please leave a comment.  I love reading your comments.  Take care, I'll talk to you soon.  ~ Hugs, Renee
