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:
