The Rubber Buggy: Him Holtz Stencils

5:00 AM

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with lots of fun products from the store. Please visit the store for all the fun products I've used today.

I found some left over wood panels in a local craft store after the holidays and knew they would work for a mixed media project.

I began by adding gesso to the panel. Once dry, I sprayed Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray Inks in Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon and Iced Spruce across the panel. Heat set each color, then use Tim Holtz Dotted Layering Stencil with modeling paste as well as Tim Holtz Slate Layering Stencil with modeling paste to add dimension. Allow to dry thoroughly.

Using a script stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, stamp around the panel.

Then go to town with assorted embellishment, adding them around the panel. Once all the elements are down, add Prima Art Stones randomly about the panel.

Finish the panel by adding die cut words from Sizzix Thinlits, Shadow #3. Die cut each from Bazzill Marshmallow and Licorice Twist cardstocks. Place them randomly around the panel.

Thank you for visiting

Hi it's Jennifer here with this very Posh Purple Poodle.

To create the background paper I added texture paste with a Tim Holtz
brick stencil. Then I used the Front Door Die from Lawn Fawn
as it went with the elegant look of the poodle.
I then stamped, coloured and fussy cut out the image and used
3D tape to raise it up. I stamped and diecut the sentiment and
I then finished her collar off with a Pearl.

I coloured him up with

Copics
Poodle - C00, C0, C01, C03
Poodle Wool - V0000, V000, V01, V12, V15
