StencilGirl® & Seth Apter WOW Blog Hop!

9/17/2020

Welcome to the StencilGirl® Products & Seth Apter WOW Blog Hop!

I’m excited to be participating in this hop and sharing four art journal spreads I created!

It was such fun to combine StencilGirl® stencils with Seth Apter's WOW! Embossing Powders!

Mary C. Nasser, Mixed Media Art Journaling

For each spread, I worked in my 8'' × 5½'' Softcover 500 Series Mixed Media Art Journal:

For this spread, I used my Map Stencil, Map with Roundabouts Stencil, Navigate Stencil
and Water's Edge Stencil.

Map with Roundabouts stencil

Navigate stencil

Water's Edge stencil

I pounced a cosmetic sponge onto the WOW! Embossing Pad then pounced through this through my
Navigate Stencil and Water's Edge Stencil directly onto the journal pages.
Next I poured Seth Apter's Sea of Tranquility embossing powder over the inked area,
tapped off the excess powder and melted it with a heat tool.

Below are details of this spread:

For my second spread, I used my Map Stencil and Map with Roundabouts Stencil again.
This time I used Seth Apter's Blue Moon embossing powder with my Map with Roundabouts Stencil
and Sea of Tranquility with my Map Stencil.

Below are details of this spread:

In the detail below, you can see where I used Seth's Mixed Media Embossing Brush from WOW
with his Crusty Copper embossing powder:

In my third spread, I used I used my Map Stencil and Sailboat Stencil,
Seth's Mixed Media Embossing Brush from WOW and Etched Platinum embossing powder:

The juxtaposition between the grid and steering wheel is really cool. The colors flow as well.

I am fascinated by the blue edging to the green/aqua waves. is this an effect created by the powder itself or did you use magic to make that happen.? it's so different.

Great spreads. I love any water themed work. Great use of colors, the nautical stencils and of course the embossing powders. Seth’s powders are by far my favorite and always go to powders. They are amazing.
