It’s time for another great ride on the Stencil Test Drive!
Jessica Sporn has brought us another stencil that is full of possibilities- the Medieval leaves stencil!Ā Be sure to drive over and check out all the great posts for this test drive from Ronda Palazzari, Maria McGuire, Corrine Gilman of Sparkle Day Studio, and of course, Jessica Sporn!
Below is aĀ video of the making of the background paper and how the layers of color and pattern built up using Jessica’s wonderful stencil!
I made so many different papers with this stencil as I played and played.Ā Greens and purples below were such a wonderful surprise! All I was expecting was blue and this is the gift I found because I didn’t clean spray inks off of my stencil very well!
Since I used this stencil over and over with paint I would pat off the excess in a journal.Ā I love how this turned out!
Now back to our regularly scheduled art journal page!
In the shapes I saw a figure so out came a black pen!Ā She’s not my usual style but there she was so I had to draw her.
Who doesn’t need purple hair with pink highlights?
She reminded me how much fun it is to be curious, especially since I had spent the afternoon just playing and exploring with Jessica’s Medieval leaves stencil!

Wahoo, this came put great. I just love this stencil, it is so versatile I jist kept going and going. Put alot of miles on it. Looks like you did too. I want purple hair too….xox
Wow Carolyn — so fabulous! Thank you for being part of the test drive — I think this girl might be the inner you… I can see you with purple hair!!
The deli tip is great! The girl-cute!
I agree–you had to draw her! Be Curious is the PERFECT word for her expression! I love the background. You have a whole plaid thing going on there. I have to tell you the journal “wipe off” is intriguing to me. I see some big inspiration on those 2 pages. Watching your video–what a wonderful way to have my coffee!
I love how the stencil adds such wonderful texture and interest to the background! Lol, my two year old was sitting next to me as I was reading this and when she saw the picture of the girl you drew she started waving and yelling, “Mommy! It’s a doll! Hi, doll!” š
Your daughter brought a big smile to my face!
Beautiful layering with color as usual Carolyn, and I adore your girl!!!
Your girl is gorgeous–just like the background! The colors are so lush and I absolutely LOVE that stencil!!
She is utterly adorable and i love that you “had to draw her.” The background is stellar. Totally awesome! Don’t you love creating with gelatin plates?
You make me want to dance around like Snoopy on Charlie Brown. That was fun. All the colors you got on the one page. Loverly. Dolly is adorable!
What fun with the gelli plate! Love that new stencil. š
This is a fun piece, love the stencil, too! Valerie
Very pretty!
That is so adorable! Great stuff!
What a great video! Love how much you packed into 2 minutes and you made fantabulous prints with the stencil. Love that one you featured above… it’s ornate!
I love the stencil! I am “under-stenciled,” if that’s a word. I want more! Love that you used the stencil in the background instead of “in you face.” I am liking subtle lately!
Your colors are always great!
I can “see” the ex-teacher in you!
Carolyn, these pages are very, very cute and sweet. I love those blue colours as well. Have a very Merry Christmas.
wonderfully creative, colorful artwork ~ always delightful ~ Happy Holidays ^_^

I so want to join your gelli party in 2013…but I’ve not tried gelli printing yet! š®
But you and your blog have inspired me to give it a go!!

This is a beautiful stencil and your pieces look great. I especially like the way it looks on the ledger page. I really need to get my hands on an old ledger!
Purple hair and pink highlights sounds like fun!
What a wonderfully inspiring post…. I LOVE everything!

OMG Carolyn, I can’t believe the beautiful things you made with this wonderful stencil. That blue-green-purple page is awesome! I love seeing how you work in your video. and your girl is so cute. You’re right, when an image appears you just have to go with it āŗ Hope you’ll have a wonderful Christmas, and a great start to a new and creative year! hugs, denthe
It’s great seeing all the different art created using Jessica’s stencils. You all seem to have had a ball using them.
Gorgeous. Stencil art! Your little lady at the end is lovely to meet as well! HPPF!
I am going to watch that video over and over! I just got a gelli plate and have never used it! What kind of paper are you printing onto? Did you wipe off the gelli after each paint application…well I will go look more closely! Love the finished project with the hidden leaves from “Medieval Leaves” peeking through. and the “appearing out of the blue” lady.
Had so much fun with your artwork, Carolyn! Lovely vid and stencil fun! Your journal page is so cute and speaks true too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I always enjoy seeing what people do with the same stencil. Such fun! š Love your purple hair girl. š
Amazing! Your artwork is fabulous and your post very interesting
