I'm Grateful to be Participating in a Blog Hop Featuring Terri Stegmiller's StencilGirl Designs

It's time for another great StencilGirl Blog Hop, this time featuring Terri Stegmiller's designs and you guessed it, the theme is Grateful!

These days I'm grateful to have the honour of raising a future dog guide foster puppy.  He's been keeping me busy these days, so I wanted to create a journal page that I could doodle on, a little at a time, when I got the chance.

I used two of Terri's stencil designs: Waves and  Layered Salad.














Working in my 9" X 12" Strathmore Mixed Media Visual Journal, I started by tracing the Waves stencil using pencil. I often jump right in with pen, but this time I thought I'd lay everything out in pencil first, and then when I find time I'll do the pen work while listening to TV.

I added the quote by writing it between those wonderful lines created by the stencil.


 With the text in place, I reached for the Layered Salad stencil and filled in the empty spaces around the edges with whimsical flowers made using the various design elements in this stencil.



The next step was to use a permanent black pen (I like Microns and/or Pitt pens) to embellish the letters as I traced them in black, adding extra thickness and some tiny lines to fill in the fatter sections.



The rest of the pencil lines were also traced with the black pen.

 

And I'm ready for some paint.  I decided to use acrylic for this page.  I use a very fine brush and water down the paint so that it flows almost like watercolour paint.







After adding colour to all of the elements, mostly using some shimmery metallic paints, I pulled out a silver Pitt pen and added some shadows.











Don't you just love that wonderful quote by Marcel Proust?!

    I love this page! I struggle with hand-lettering -- mostly with the confidence to do it much. Instead I rely on stamps, but am often frustrated with the homogeny of the result.This page inspires me to keep developing my hand-lettering. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for the chance to win.

    I wish I could get up the courage to try lettering. That C in 3rd grade penmanship killed it for me.

      Oh Linda, that's awful! You might want to consider some of Joanne Sharpe's online lettering classes (Letter Love 101 was great). You CAN do it!
