Hiya TCW friends,
Great to be here again with you to share a little bit of The Crafter’s Workshop inspiration for you.
– The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project. The opinions I share are solely my own –
As I loved TCW855 Linked Tiles stencil so much last time, I decided to create a page solely dedicated to showing it off. TCW855 Linked Tiles is designed by Rebekah Meier. I have used both the 12×12 and the 6×6 within this video.
If you enjoy seeing a page come together quickly, you can just go ahead and watch the process video below. Captions within the video will tell you what products I have used along the way.
…here is the page, step-by-step…
I began with a quote torn from a magazine. I glue it down with matte medium
I then randomly paint blue paint around the page, somewhat trying to begin to incorporate the quote into the page.
Next I grab the large sized TCW855 Linked Tile stencil and a baby wipe and remove some of the blue paint. This also transfers some paint, printing the stencil onto the page in sections aswell.
With watered down TCW9002 – black gesso I spray some splats onto the page
Next with the small size of TCW855 Linked Tiles I sponge through a rust red (Sedona by Dina Wakley) randomly around the page.
By mixing TCW9005 – modeling paste and turquoise paint, I create a coloured modeling paste and apply this through TCW5005 Swiss Dot stencil

I dry the page thoroughly, then start sketching out a face within the small void that I can see on the page.

From here I slowly build up the colour within the image and darken the background to further highlight the illustration.
I finalise the page by creating some small flowers within her hair using TCW9001 white gesso and also some small bright green collaged leaves
