Dylusions Dual Colored Stencil Technique by Denise Lush Step 1

Step 1: Turn to a dot grid page in your large Ledger Journal. Count three dots in and add washi tape. Do this all around the parameter of the page to create a border.

Step 2: Lay the large stencil Urchins down on your page. Count 5 dots in from the edge of the washi tape and mark it. Mark every 5 dots. We are going to paint stripes on the page alternating colors. Label each strip ‘x’ and ‘o’ so you know which to mask off with washi tape. Start off masking all the ‘o’s’.

Step 3: When all the strips marked ‘o’ have been masked off, apply Jungle Leaf paint in the exposed strips. Make sure to erase any pencil lines where you will be painting.

Step 4: When the Jungle Leaf paint has dried remove the strips of washi from the ‘o’s’ and apply it over the ‘x’s’ (the strips you just painted jungle leaf).

Step 5: Now it’s time to paint these strips (the ‘x’s’) in Vibrant Turquoise.

Step 6: When all the paint has dried remove the washi tape and admire your work.

Step 7: Place the stencil back in place and add the washi tape around the border area. This holds your stencil in place while you work and masks off your border. Using some images from the stamp set Get Your Rocks On stamp randomly on your page with Dylusions Archival Ink in Dirty Martini and Vibrant Turquoise.

Step 8: Remove the stencil and all washi tape. Trace around your stencils images with the black marble paint pen. Then frame your stenciled area with black Dylusions washi tape.

Step 9: On a #10 Dylusions Mixed Media tag apply black marble paint through the small stencil Crazy Pavings.

Step 10: Attach the tag by folding it over your page and taping it on the back of the page. Trace the black stenciled images with the white linen paint pen.

Step 11: Find these collage images from the Dylusions Collage Sheets Set 4 and adhere them to your tag allowing the legs to hang off the side. Next add a quote. The one used here is from the Bigger Back Chat White Set 2. It reads “Picture it…me giving a frikk”.
