Hello folks, Nancy here, and welcome to a tutorial for an art journal page using some great new stencils from The Crafter’s Workshop.
I have a fondness for wild birds and, in turn, a fondness for their beautiful feathers. It was an easy choice to feature, on my journal page, stencils from The Crafter’s Workshop that so perfectly represent both.
The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project. The opinions I share are solely my own.
Supplies Used:
TCW716/716s 12″ x 12″/6″ x 6″ Four Feathers stencil
TCW684/684s 12″ x 12″/6″ x 6″ Bird Gathering stencil
TCW701/701s 12″ x 12″/6″ x 6″ Have Faith Stencil
9″ x 12″ 140 lb. watercolor art journal
foam brush/spouncer/applicator
acrylic paint: robin’s egg blue, periwinkle blue
baby wipes
heat tool
copies of vintage text
glue stick
masking tape
Staz-On ink: black
gel pen: black
******************************************
Apply a light wash of robin’s egg blue acrylic paint to the journal page and blend with a baby wipe.
Position Four Feathers stencils, both small and large, masking off unwanted areas with masking tape. Apply TCW Clear Gesso with foam spouncer over stencil designs. Dry with heat tool.
Apply periwinkle blue paint with foam brush over entire surface. The feathers will remain light blue as the gesso acts as a resist.
Tint torn copies of vintage papers with periwinkle blue paint and adhere to page with glue stick.
Using a foam applicator, add black Staz-On ink to a bird from the small Bird Gathering stencil.
Add two more birds, one large bird from the 12″ x 12″ stencil and another small one from the 6″ x 6″ stencil.
Add “have faith” sentiment with the TCW701/701s Have Faith stencils and black ink.
Trace part of a background feather and also add sentiment with black gel pen.
Finish outside edges of journal page, with black ink on a sponge applicator, to frame the page.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this tutorial and try to use gesso as a resist with your fabulous stencils from The Crafter’s Workshop.
