I’m playing it fast and loose with a stencil and paint on a junk mail envelope. It was the end of the day and I wanted to use up my leftover paints. When time is short, anything within reach is fair game for me…and this was what I grabbed! When I go loose…there is usually an Oops or two…okay, there is always an Oops with me.
In the video you’ll see how I handled 2 Oopsies.
Watch Junk mail meets a stencil on YouTube.
My fancy canvas for today’s play- junk mail envelope!
My Coming and Going stencil with a quick hit of a permanent spray ink.
I knew what colors I had to use since it was all about using up the leftover paints on my palette. But in my haste, my plan did not go as planned. And that is more than okay with me!
I needed something for in that window and my Are We There Yet stencil gave me just the word I needed…and an Oops too.
Supplies Used:
I have my materials at the ready. Anxious to get started on this journey. So glad I found your videos! Thanks.
Nice! So the DecoArt sprays are not water soluble like some of the others on the market? Good to know
How fun! Gorgeous too! I don’t think I’ll ever look at a junk mail envelope the same… now I kinda want some junk mail to arrive. LOL
I need to start saving my recycles!!
That is some HAPPY junk mail!!!!
Free stuff goes zoom zoom. Thinking of “Big Yellow Taxi” by Joni Mitchell. xox
Love this! What do you think you’ll do with your awesome colorful envelope now that it’s finished?
I might use it to store travel memorabilia, or if I might even mail it to a traveling buddy…never know for sure until I do it Lou!
Thanks Carolyn! Great ideas! It really would make fun mail art. I’m always curious how others use their odds & ends created pieces. I love watching you in action on your videos.
Doing something with junk mail is so freeing. It’s already “junk” so it’s all about no worries, no pressure, no stress. I usually just do collage but this project goes into my “Gotta Do This!” file.
Love how you repurposed this envelope–great, great great!
Wow, what a creative lady you are. This was such a fun video and I will be saving some envelopes to use with this technique. So glad I found you.
