I am a big fan of oldtimer cars and so I knew I wanted to do this stencil for all kinds of projects. Check out some samples here:
Here is what I created for today:
I do love to create some depth with my stencils -so here is how I did it here. I sprayed through the Stencil with Liquitex Spraypaints- but you can use any other paint media.
Then I cut out the car – just around the outline
I picked a page in my art journal where I had already played a bit with a background and gathered some repositionable double sided adhesive, distress ink and a blending tool.
I adhered the old timer with the repositionable adhesive and then applied a bit darker distress ink with the blending tool – to outline the car.
I used another distress ink color and the stencil again, which I laid over the car again and went over it again with the blending tool.
As you can see it gave a another shadow- as the first sprayed stencil image still peaks through- and it adds already more depth to the oldtimer
Now I peeled of the oldtimer car and then carefully rubbed off the adhesive dots.
Next I placed the car directly onto the background into the before outlined borders-
I do this so later when you raise the car with foam pads- there is a shadow visible.
Then I cut out some faces that would fit behind the windows
and I cut out two windows of the oldtimer car on the paper
I applied foam pads to the backs of the faces
adhered them using the image of the oldtimer on the background and slightly a bit off
then I stacked two foam pads on top of each other- to give more height -to the back of the oldtimer car on the paper
and adhered the car also slightly off
and there you have it :) I think it is a great way to add dimension and depth with stencils.
Here are the supplies I used:

Funny, I just found the “stencil girl” stencils site and now I am directed to your site by artist Julie ….like all of this was meant to be. I read your post re the Jewish Museum and could not comment as my stomach was just sick…thank you for having the courage to post about your experience and share with all of us…that was brave in so many ways.
Thank you for also sharing your beautiful art work!!!
