Why a StandUp Bass? Well…that is what I see when I walk into my husband’s music room next to my studio. I love this instrument. It is massive and beautiful and I love the sound of it too. I thought it can represent so many things like music, art, harmony, it is a good birthday card theme etc.
Here is what I created for today:
This is a gift card holder. I created it using two manila tags and here is how:
Starting with Tag 1
After you used the chalk through the stencil on tag one- you have a lot of access of chalk on top of the stencil
and here is the other side of the gift card holder after spicing it up with some fun stamps etc.
Here are the supplies I used:

Awesome techniques! And awesome stencil – I love stand up bass, as well as cellos (my son used to play) and violas as they are so beautiful. I also love your blog hops! So much inspiration and new (for me) artists to get inspiration from. Thanks for doing this!

I enjoy your blog hops and get so many ideas. Saw at least 3 of your stencils in this hop and am heading to the craft room to get started on these new techniques (bypassing the office where the bills are waiting for me!)

I haven’t worked with fluid chalks, but now I must have some! The stand-up bass is an underappreciated instrument except among rockabilly fans.
