Using a Stencil on a Canvas for Michelle Ward’s Blog Hop

Video Using a Stencil on a Canvas for Michelle Ward's Blog Hop for StencilGirl by Carolyn Dube

 

stencill-segments-michelle-ward

I am a huge fan of Michelle Ward!  Not only does she have the most amazing sense of design-  she is a wonderful teacher.   If you ever have the opportunity to take a class with her, do it!  You can imagine my excitement when I heard she created 8 new stencils and a blog hop!

As I looked at her Segments Stencil from StencilGirl, I decided to play and stencil on a canvas.  I treated the canvas just like an art journal. Same techniques.  Same fun.

    You once again promote the art of having confidence in how we each individually create and to continue if things don’t go the way we planned. Great to have you as a ‘partner’ on my journey.

  • Corrine January 27, 2014, 5:32 am
