SNL Saturday Stash Dive ~ Stencils

I have a layout to share today for the SNL Design Team. Saturday was my day for stash diving and the topic was about stencils! It was a perfect choice for me because I love my stencils.

If you're not familiar with the SNL Saturday Stash Dive, it's just that! Every Saturday, two of the design team members post videos for whatever that particular topic is for that Saturday. I am loving it because it is getting me into my stash and using up all those things that are just sitting unused!

Although, I have to say my stencils are not one of those things! I use them all the time but the the thing is to inspire others to get theirs out and use them. There are so many ways to use stencils!

1.   Mist them

2.   Ink them

3.   Use texture paste over them

4.   Trace around them

5.   Paint over them

6.   Use them to cut shapes out of paper

They are a really versatile tool and can be a lot of fun to use!

I created my layout using several stencils.

Here you can see the layers just from using the various techniques on my stencils.  The background sunburst was misted. I layered another stencil over the top and inked the stars. Then another stencil over the top with texture paste.

Here you can see more of those layers.

Stencils are so easy to find. They are readily available in most scrapbook stores, online and even art supply stores. You can also make your own by cutting cardstock or using stencil materials. 

If you'd like to see more of my process, I have a video for you!

I hope this encourages you to pull out those stencils, dust them off and put them to use! They really are fun and can make some great texture on your projects!

Thanks for stopping by!
