This ink monoprint made with a stencil and some Distress Paint. I wouldn't consider this a total success, but maybe it qualifies in the realm of mixed media art. The images are made by daubing Distress Paint on the opposite side of a stencil, mixing colors a bit. Then the stencil is pressed onto the paper creating the print. Here I used the Tim Holtz Bubble stencil and another stencil I had on hand.
I applied some Distress ink to blend and smooth the background. The result is probably a little dark. I'm thinking if I use some of the brighter paints this would work a little better, though a dark background has it's places. It might also be good to have a couple of different stencils- my assortment is limited.
Great for a background though - add some autumnal leaves would be perfect! TFS
ReplyDeleteMmm, totally a Mixed Media style background. And autumnal leaves would be perfect!
ReplyDeletePS be careful about stencils they can be as addicting as stamps. ;)
