Buckle up because the Stencil Test Drive is here! The Hebrew Calligraphy with Hamsa Stencil is first up!
This is just the first of many wonderful blog hops between now and June celebrating Jessica’s stencils at Stencil Girl Products. Not only do they have fabulous stencils they also ship quickly!
Be sure to stop by Jessica’s blog, Michelle Rydell’s blog, and Judy Shea’s blog to see how this stencil inspired them! You can join in and win one of Jessica’s stencil! The details and linky party are here!
A background that came about from gessoing and painting over a piece that was in need of reworking.
Wood icing used with Jessica’s Hebrew Calligraphy with Hamsa Stencil.
Once the wood icing had dried I put the stencil back on top so that the paint only went where I wanted it to go in the next step.
Using a dry brush I painted the top of the wood icing a deep blue.
I smeared paint on with my fingers.
After the last layer dried, I smeared another layer of paint.
Another touch or two of paint. Once it was dry, I brayered on a thin layer of white paint to pop the design.
The wood icing created lots of places and spaces for the paint and color to pile up.
I was so in love with this stage that there is another piece just like this one drying in my studio. I want one to cut up and make ATC backgrounds for another project!
I thought this piece was all finished until I read the quote. Book paper, paint, and glitter and now I think it really is finished…
Stop by Jessica’s blog, Michelle Rydell’s blog and Judy Shea’s blog to see how this stencil inspired them! Want more creativity? Stop on by Paint Party Friday and Creative Every Day!

So beautiful. The colors are so bold and happy – just like you! Love the last touch of using your brayer to add the white to the tops of the letters — and the quote, perfect! Yes ma’am – show the world your magic — because you have lots of it!
Super rich design and BRILLIANT colors! Lovely. Great touch with the brayer, too!

I am so glad you are sharing your magic with the world. I love what you created with the stencils.
This is a magical piece Carolyn, love it!
Wow, great work with that stencil, Carolyn. Jessica was showing it too over on her blog today. I really like the abstract element to it. Beautiful work. Happy PPF
Stunning. And this was a piece that “needed to be reworked”. Amazing. Thanks for sharing your steps. Happy PPF.
Great job! And so different from Jessica’s test drive pieces. How fun to see the difference. Happy PPF!
Wow! Great creation ~ design and color are so creative ~ (A Creative Harbor) ~ aka ~ ‘artmusedog’ ^_^
i love this technique! the texture is amazing. the white paint almost looks metallic on the screen– it really does pop!
wow these are wonderful results. Happy PPF, x
How LOVELY! Love the colours and the stencil is gorgeous too! I wonder if you can get it in the UK!
Wonderful job with the stencils and I love your sparkly letters (wonderful quote, isn’t it?).
Happy PPF!
Beautiful stencil work Carolyn!
Amazing, makes me want to try stencils
wow, amazing work. I’ve never tried stencils. Don’t really have any. You did an outstanding job.
Just seen Jessica’s post and this rocks too. What a fab project and what fab results. Happy PPF.
Carolyn, what an awesome piece you’ve created with the Hebrew calligraphy stencil! I have no idea what wood icing is and will certainly be looking that up. My question would be: how do you clean up the stencil for the next time you want to use it? Does the wood icing wash off easily?
You absolutely blow my mind with all you do. Hebrew calligraphy. . amazing. Blessings, Janet PPF
wow, this is soooo awesome! Love love it!
These are great – and i enjoyed seeing the process.
fabulous work i just love the way you have used jessicas stencil.
This is absolutely MAGICAL…I am in love with your piece …completely 🙂
I love how you used the stencil in nearly every step of your process. Love the message as well – a great painting x
OMG Carolyn you did an amazing job! I’d never even heard of wood icing before. Thanks for sharing all your steps!
I want these stencils! Love Hebrew letters. Would love to put this on a fabric piece.
You art rocks!
Wow! I love the way the layer of white made the design pop. The color combination is beautiful, and using the design as a backdrop for a quote yielded striking result. Fantastic work! -Terri
