Hope: Stenciled Background
Hi readers! Happy Saturday to you! Today I’m glad to be back with guest designer Mona Pendleton (who is also on our Monday Challenge Design team). She’s showing us a couple cool tips & tricks on how to really get the most out of stencils!
Enjoy!
Steps to create beautiful textured background.
Step 1: Create a background using a combination of Distress Stains.
Step 2: Apply Gesso using a palette knife.
Step 3: Apply texture to background using Texture Paste and a stencil.
Step 4: Repeat Step 3, using a variety of stencils.
Step 5: Randomly apply Distress Paint using a mini ink blending foam.
Step 6: Randomly apply Distress Stain using your finger tip.
