sponge dauber (Americana Glass Stencil Dauber Set - DABK21)
hardcover book (or other items to fill container while painting)
canvas container
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES: Let dry completely between painting steps. Work on one rose at a time, allowing each section to dry before moving onto a new section and then onto another rose.
Find a plain canvas container; any size will work. (Mine was 6.5"x 7.5" x 5.5")
Gather the supplies, including the Smell the Roses SoSoft Stencil.
Stuff the container with items to flatten the surface for painting. (I used books.)
Place the Smell the Rose stencil where you want the pattern to lay on the container.
Paint the leaves by dabbing Emerald (Metallic) onto the stencil with a sponge dauber. Rinse out the dauber and dry with a paper towel. Dab on some Aquamarine (Metallic) into the leaves for some added dimension. (See photo: I removed the stencil here just to show the variation in colors.)
For the buds on the stencil, dab on Pearl (Metallic).
Dab Pink Tourmaline (Metallic) onto the tips of the rose buds.
For one of the larger roses, dab on Amethyst (Metallic).
Use Raspberry Quartz (Metallic) to highlight the rose petals.
For the next rose, use a cleaned dauber to dab Ruby (Metallic) onto the stencil surface.
For the last rose, dab on Pink Tourmaline (Metallic) and then some Pearl (Metallic) as a soft highlight to the petals.
Use a liner brush to outline the bottoms of the petals shapes Obsidian (Metallics) to give the stenciled image some more dimension.
Using Obsidian (Metallic) and the small dauber, make polka dots in the empty space surrounding the stenciled roses.
With a clean liner brush, add some highlights on the petal shapes using Pearl (Metallic).
This project is a fun way to add a design to a plain container. Use the same design for a variety of projects.
