Treats on Tuesday with Christine - La gâterie du mardi avec Christine

Hi Everyone, I've been playing with some stencils and Nuance Powders. This technique gives you a twofer, one with the powders sprinkled through the stencil and the second as a monoprint.

I placed the stencil on a piece of water colour card sprinkled nuance powders over the open areas and over some of the solid areas. Once I was happy with the amount of powder I spritzed with water which activates the powdered colour particles. I place the card on something to elevate it off my work counter to make it easier to remove once it has been spritzed with water. When the stencil has been removed use a piece of kitchen roll to blot up the excess water. I stamped a little script in the white space around the stenciled area and outlined the edge with a gold marker to create a faux mat.

This is the second print. I placed the spritzed stencil on another piece of card lay a piece of kitchen roll over it to absorb the excess colour seeping through the stencil. I outlined the birds using the stencil with a black pen once I had dried the ink and then added the gold pen over the black to tone it down a little. I love the inky background a stencil monoprint gives.

While I was at it I made a couple of Christmas cards using the same technique. there was so much ink on the stencil I made a second monoprint by spritzing again with water.

Mira'cle Art with Miranda - Art Mira'cle avec Miranda

Hello crafty people,

Miranda here with a monochromatic inspiration and yes again....a circle......I teached this technique on the Art Specially event 2022 and I can't get enough of playing with it.

I worked on Canson Mi-teintes paper which is very suitable for colour and pastel pencils. It is a light weight paper of 160 grs.

I have only used a darker shade colour and pastel pencil and also a white one of both. I like this monochromatic look. I also stamped using a matching ink.

Thank you for visiting and I am sure there will be more with this technique.
