So loving my new 9×12” Art Deco Wallpaper Stencil I designed for StencilGirl Products – I know, I know…I’m full of myself- LOL. But seriously it is a stencil I wanted for a long time!
I love Art Deco Design – in my travels through Europe, especially to Paris – I made a lot of sketches from wallpapers in museums and hotel rooms from this era.
In this Art Journal Page I used the stencil as a background and spray painted over it with several different Liquitex Spray Paints. I love how dimensional you can get with different color layered up.
Here is another sample using it as a whole on both art journal pages …as …a …wallpaper for the quote :)
I painted the background first with different acrylic paint colors and then layered the stencil over the background spraying with white and grey Liquitex Spray paint.
I wrote the quote with Liquitex Acrylic Ink and a Bamboo Sketching Pen.
I will show some other ways on how to use this stencil in the next weeks :)
Here are the supplies that I used for those two pages
Hope you like the stencil- have a gorgeous day!!!

Woohoo, I too am looking forward to that bamboo pen video. I remember you mentioning the bamboo pen at Create but I never made time to ask you more. I love that art deco stencil and seeing your design ideas only motivates me to go into my studio and play. Hugs!!!

Adore the colors in the second one and the way you used the stencil over it … I went to a Liquitex demo a couple of weeks ago and it was so fun seeing all the different products, amazing, the colors are just yummy.
I also bought a bamboo pen and cannot figure out how to use it … I got it because Iove the way you use it in your journal, but there is nothing online on how it works … any insight? Love your blog!

Thank you Kim! The Bamboo Pen is a Dip Pen – you dip it into ink – that is the whole secret :) I will do a video about this soon though as you are not the first one to ask :) will try to do it soon :) Have a gorgeous day ,Nat

Wohooo – glad you like the stencil! BTW- the Writers tape might be not available anymore. Basically you can just cut up raw gessoed canvas pieces and fringe the sides and use those adhered with Gel Medium :)
