The Plain Box Society

You are in for a HUGE treat! Tina Walker​ is on the StencilGirl® Talk blog with her inaugural Columnist post! Tina and 27 other artists (including me!) transformed PLAIN BOXES with StencilGirl® stencils! Wait until you see the all the fabulous creativity!

I’m excited to be participating in this collaboration and sharing the mixed media piece I created!

I started with a plain box and applied white gesso to all six sides. Next, I added Faber-Castell Whipped Spackle with a palette knife through my Map stencil around the four sides and let dry. Then I added Faber-Castell Whipped Spackle with a palette knife through my Compass stencil on the top.

Once dried, I used a paintbrush to add Lindy’s TiffanyLou Blue Shimmer Spray, Time Travel Teal Shimmer Spray, and Tainted Love Teal Shimmer Spray (starting with lightest color) on all six sides of the box. I allowed this to dry, too.

Lastly, I realigned my ​Map stencil along one of the box and applied VersaMark through the stencil. It was a cinch to realign with the dimensional spackle! I sprinkled on Seth Apter's Deep Sea Baked Texture from Emerald Creek, tapped off the excess, then heated with my heat tool. I repeated this along the other three sides, one side at a time.

And I repeated this same process on top with ​my Compass stencil on the top. Voila!

I love the combination of teals, blues, and texture!
​Thank you so much, Tina, for spearheading and coordinating this fun collaboration!
