Monoprinting (a great way to get more mileage out of stencils) and embossed texture paste were the techniques presented in Tim's February tag--here's my Christmas version.
I stayed true to the monoprinting but....
The stencil image (a doily) just didn't develop like I wanted it to so I placed the stencil back over the printing and used paint through the stencil's negative shapes in the traditional fashion.
Without the special texture paste that Tim used, I had to improvise. But I came up with an alternative that yielded a new stencil in the process.
I stamped text on Yupo and cut out the letters to make a stencil then used brown-tinted paste medium covered with glitter.
I've said it before--Yupo makes great stencils (cuts like butter, is durable and easy to clean) and now I have a stencil I can use for future projects.
I love the Santa image from Tim's 2016 Christmastime Ephemera Pack (wish there was more than one) and framed it with tiny dots of Ranger's Liquid Pearls.

ReplyDeleteI just love the idea of remaking the year's tags as Christmas beauties! Another fabulous creation.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work miss bee...that hand done beading ALWAYS is my favorite part. Such a steady hand to be able to do this technique(and a lot of patience).
ReplyDeleteFabulous tag!
