Mad Hatter Spray Paint Art

This piece of art I created to enter into a contest. The contest rules was you had to create something using Oramask 813 Stencil Film purchased from  https://expressionsvinyl.com/. I didn't win the contest :'-( but had fun making this piece anyway. What I used was a piece of semi smooth wood approximately 24"x18". I purchased the wood at Home Depot. The silhouette of the Mad Hatter (The Johnny Depp version) I found online. I transferred the silhouette into my Silhouette program, traced it in the program, and cut it with my Cameo. The Wording at the bottom is one of the scripts that came with my Silhouette program. I also cut it out with my Cameo. I then weeded the whole thing....it took a lot of time, but I think was worth it. I weeded it backwards, so there would be no film in the areas that I wanted the design to show. The only stencil I left was the stencil in the negative areas. Reason being this was to be applied to the wood and spray painted. First I added two base coats of white spray paint to the wood, when it was dry I transferred the Stencil Film to the wood using transfer tape. I then removed the transfer tape, taped up all of the edges with painters tape, then spray painted the design with black spray paint. I used two coats, and did not allow it to dry completely before removing the stencil. The reason you don't want it to try completely is because if it does and you remove your stencil the paint will peel up with it. So it's a little messy, and you have to be very careful, but well worth the effort. When it was completely dry I went in with glitter acrylic paint and touched up his eyes, and a few of the letters.

Happy Crafting!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Card #2

This was another digital stamp find on Pinterest (that site is addicting...) I colored it in with gel pens, I used a metallic silver for the table and chairs. I cut it out by hand, and cut a piece of pink cardstock a little bit larger to act as a frame. The background paper and the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun saying were all part of the same cardstock book from Michaels. I secured everything together with double sided tape, and wrapped a thin piece of Satin Ribbon around it, tying it into a bow, and securing it with tape as well. I think hot glue would have worked better for this, but I hate using it, because I always end up with burnt fingers... :-/ ~Chantel

Alice in Wonderland-Stencil Art

I created this piece to go along with the one I did of the Mad Hatter. It is also made out of a piece of semi smooth wood approximately 24"x18". I also purchased this piece of wood at the same time as the one for the Mad Hatter. It was one piece that I had them cut for me. I then took it home and spray painted the whole thing with two coats of black spray paint. This design was also found on the web. I put the design into my silhouette program, traced it and cut it out of Oramask 813 Stencil Film I purchased from https://expressionsvinyl.com/ . I then weeded it out, removing all the negative pieces. I added my transfer tape, and removed the backing. I then put the design onto the painted piece of wood and removed the transfer tape, leaving the stencil secured to the wood. This time I decided to paint the design with acrylic paints, GLITTER acrylic paints!!! <3 GLITTER!!!! You can't really tell from the photo, but in person it shines like a diamond. :-) I sponge ...
