A Vintage Style Canvas using Artistcellar Stencils

It's Tuesday so I will be doing a stencil tutorial today.  This project is a small canvas.  This was done with the newest release from Artistcellar Lynn K's stencils called "Marked Series".  This is the finished canvas and if you read further you can see the short tutorial.

I started this project with a small canvas measuring 7" by 10".  I coated the canvas with a small amount of gesso and allowed it to dry.  When it was thoroughly dry I laid one stencil in the group after the other using Broken China Distress Ink, Walnut Stain Distress Ink and the I used gesso again with the final stencil.

When the canvas was completely dry I applied additional Walnut Stain ink to form a sort of frame for my centerpiece.  I painted Creative Medium over the entire canvas to seal it.

I made the same stencil design pattern on a piece of watercolor paper, trimmed it down to measure 6 1/4" by 5 1/4".  I glued a piece of digital art on the right side and applied a shading of Walnut Stain ink all around her with an applicator.  I used the Creative Words Pocket Stencils, some Walnut Stain ink and an applicator to stencil uplifting words on the panel.  My lady looked like she needed some flowers, pearls and a feather in her hat so I glued those on.  When the panel was completed I put glue pop dots on the back and applied it to the canvas.

I applied a small amount of stamping with some StazOn Jet Black ink and a very old Stampers Anonymous stamp.  My vintage style canvas is complete!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I'll be back next Tuesday with some additional stenciling ideas!  There is a blog hop taking place right now where you can see what other artists have created using the new stencils.  Follow along, leave some comments, who knows maybe you can win your own set!   Take care ~ Renee xxx
