Stencil Play and an Altered Pages Challenge!

Jean recently added Crafters Workshops to the store and I couldn't wait to get some and play with all the different ways you can use them. I started with these below--please know this is merely the surface!

For stencil play you will need: 
stencils [ I used the 6" Cubist Stencil]
Artist Spackle and card to spread
brush

With one stencil and few different mediums you can attain several looks!
Inky stencil
Spackled stencil
Spackled Stencil with light heating
Spackled Stencil with heavy heating
Stipple Brushed paint
Paint squeegee'd in to Stencil and then heated--to make bubbles
After paint is squeegee'd in, turn over the stencil
and make a print of the painted side. 
All these different looks are achieved with just a few different supplies and the same stencil. Don't be afraid to experiment with your tools! What are some of your favorite ways to play with stencils??

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
