Funky Fossil Designs "Stencils Unlocked" Techniques - Day 2a 2b and 2C







Today is Day 2 of "Stencils Unlocked" a free technique tutorial on how to get the most from your stencils.  Here's the link on thier site.

For the Alcholol lift, I used a piece background from my stash that I had made maybe two years ago.  Using Alcohol Lift Ink to lift the pattern below the Funky Fossil Designs "Striped Circle Mask".

For the Brusho Paint Lift, I again used a background I already had in my stash, using neat bleach on a q-tip through areas of the Funky Fossil Designs "Woodcut Flowers Stencil by Zinski Art".  The bleach did bleed a little under the stencil but for this purpose the end result is fine.

The final one is using Acrylic paints, I used the following colours Ochre, Vermillion and Viridan Green, applied loosely with a paint brush.  I lay the Funky Fossil Designs "Wavy Grid Stencil" over the surface of the tacky paint and dabbed the surface using a wet wipe to lift the paint.

Of the three I made today, the acrylic paint one is my favourite as I tend not to do those colours but they work so well together here.

  1. They all look wonderful Sam, but the Wavy Grid one has lots of contrast between the light bright areas and the darker tones of the grid which gives it lots of drama. The other two are softer but really pretty and love the various lift techniques..some great ideas there. x
