Doodled Pattern to Floral Painting with Karenliz

Hi Everyone!
Today I’m sharing how I created this painting with the new Doodled Pattern stencil.

The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with stencils to create this project.
The opinions I share are solely my own because I do love to use them.

When confronted with a new stencil with a pattern like this, I look at the specific shapes. That’s what I did to create my floral painting because the first thing I saw was flowers.

So lets get started. First this painting in on Yupo. It’s plastic paper. You can use any type of medium on it. You just can’t use a heat gun on it or it will melt.

No clear ideas on what I was doing, so I decided to add the stencil design to the Yupo with white paint.  When it dried, I used a brayer and added turquoise india ink on top. When it dried and looked pretty cool.

I put the stencil on top and used a baby wipe through the stencil to take off the color.

You can also see I used the hearts in the stencil to create this flower.
