Stencils are versatile.  Why? Because you can use them how you like.  Use the whole thing at once or use bits and pieces of it. That flexibility is what keeps me using stencils over and over and over.  I’m sharing the fun by giving away one of my new stencils too!  Be sure to keep reading to see  how you can win!

In the video, I share how I used parts of stencils to put this art journal page together by creating my own embellishments and using only some of the words. No matter how many double decker buses I need, that stencil can make it happen.

Is it a reverse print?  Is it a negative print?  Whatever you call it-  you can create very different looks from just one stencil. I’m using a Gelli Plate® to quickly get my new stencil, Arched Aqueducts, loaded with paint. In the process I get a bonus print with a great grungy vibe!  I’m giving away a stencil so keep reading to find out how you can win it!

This isn’t my only new stencil! You can see Are We There Yet and Coming and Going  at StencilGirl.

Supplies Used:

• Arched Aqueducts stencil
• Gelli Plate®
• Brayer
• Mixed media paper
• Deli paper

I’m Gelli® printing on both deli paper and mixed media paper.  Finding the deli paper that makes you happiest is a personal preference.  I have tried many and these are the 2 that I am happiest with…This one because it is super thin but it is a bit smaller in size.  This one because is a little heavier than the other amd is a larger size.    In the video, I use the 2nd because it was larger but any deli paper will work with this technique.
