Such fun stencils! First I separated the large stencil
The face and numbers really kept bringing up the five senses to me, this is where I went with it
I used her face as a mask and marked an outline which I cut into the Club Scrap paper using an exacto knife. I created tags for the 5 senses, decorated them with the stencils and washi tape. The words were added by using a label maker.
I then used number 1 through 5 covered with White Sand texture paste, which dried clear.
Using a Ranger distressed crayon with water, I darkened the texture paste, applied gesso over the numbers to have them pop
I added a bit of a page from an encyclopedia on Senses to complete this piece.
Here are some of the items I used with the wonderful stencils to create the above and the piece below
and
The next piece, named Good Luck
I applied Distress Oxide Inks quite a bit on Club Scrap 12 x 12 paper from the Literature kit. I used the face as a mask with brown ink over a gesso'd area on the left bottom area of the paper, then added water to the mask and turned it over for the left top darker image. The dragonfly was a tissue paper image applied with gel medium prior to the face mask. Many borders were then added all over and with more Distress Oxide inks applied and water splashed. On the white face, I did not intend for an eye, nose, chin or lip shading to occur, it was just good luck.
These stencils were a blast to work with and I am sure will appear in many more future art pieces!
Enjoy,
Cathy
