The Stencilfied Journal: Week 3

I'm back with the next #thestencilfiedjournal prompt! This new collaboration was organized by Tina Walker, Collaborations Columnist for StencilGirl® Talk! Each prompt must use StencilGirl® Products in a fun and unique way, combined with some interesting and 'out of the box' ideas. I'm using a field book for my art journal, and I love this little size!

PROMPT #3 is getting us outside and using Mother Nature on our pages!

I experienced great synchronicity again with Prompt 3! I knew I wanted to stencil on a magnolia tree leaf after seeing Art & Whimsy's stenciling on these. But it was a matter of finding a leaf small enough to fit into my field book journal. While I walked my dog past my neighbor's magnolia tree, there it was on the sidewalk! A small, field book sized magnolia leaf...in the shape of a heart!!

I have never seen anything like this in all my walks past this tree! I painted the leaf in PaperArtsy's Mermaid Fresco Acrylic Paint, then used StazOn Ink in Teal Blue and my Map Stencil to add patterning. Then I stenciled the word "Wish" onto vintage book paper using a StazOn Midi Ink Pad in Spiced Chai  and the 6" x 6" stencil from StencilClub August 2017 - Second Star to the Right & Straight on 'til Morning.
