Using a stencil to make an archeological type blueprint with Carolyn Dube

Blueprints have always captured my imagination, especially ones from ancient archeological sites.  The Terrace homes of Ephesus.  The tombs and tunnels in the Valley of the Kings.  The many rooms in King Minos’s palace in Crete.

That was the inspiration for this stencil which is part of my latest StencilGirl release.  To celebrate, I’m giving away a stencil every day this week!

 

Using a stencil to make an archeological type blueprint with Carolyn Dube

 

I’m sharing how I make a quick blueprint look with this stencil- it can do so much more too but that video is for another day!  You can get a sneak peek (it’s the soft orange one) of what my next video using this stencil is all about here.

Video showing how to get a touch of childhood into your play!

 

Kindergarten Writing Stencil by Carolyn Dube for StencilGirl Products

Kindergartner’s know how to play, to let go, and be in the moment.  In order to capture some of that spirit, I turned to my own children’s school papers from when they were little to create this stencil.  This is actual kid writing with invented kid spelling.

 

When I showed this stencil my girls, they couldn’t read all of it.  I, as the mom, could read it.  Their theory was I could read it because that is about how I still spell. I am the worst speller in my house and they are always willing to remind me of that.  You can see the translation over at StencilGirl!

These are the types of watercolor crayons I used in the video.

Playing with Picasso's Words in my stencil! Picasso's Words Stencil by Carolyn Dube for StencilGirl Products

Today kicks off 6 days of new stenciling videos and a giveaway each day to celebrate my latest release at StencilGirl!  Since I’m incredibly impatient, I couldn’t wait until Monday to start so I’m turning this on a little early.  I figure you don’t mind…

It’s no secret I love words and quotes but something happened when I played around with quotes by Pablo Picasso.  The words transformed from pure text to become design elements that intersect and overlap.

In the video, I share how the layers built up as well as how I effortlessly clean a finely detailed stencil such as Picasso’s Words.

Watch Building up layers with just one stencil on YouTube.
