Create ART Everyday – Stenciled, Stamped and Inked Canvas
Today I am pleased and honored to be part of my Creative Girlfriend Rebekah Meier’s 1st Blog Hop for her Brand New Stencil Line with The Crafter’s Workshop.
These stencils are wonderful and I am happy to say that they work beautifully with my line of Crafter’s Ink from Clearsnap. I created this Art Canvas for my studio by stenciling, stamping and inking it up!
Here’s how I created it:
I started by painting 2 canvases from Canvas Corp, (one 8″ x 10″ the other 5″ x 7″) with Berry Iridescents from Earth Safe Finishes.
I used Crafter’s Ink in Aquamarine, Lilac and Bark with Rebekah’s Rosetta and Stain Glass Stencils, layering with Earth Safe Finishes Gesso and more of the Berry Iridescents covering up a bit of the stenciling in the process. I also heat set the Crafter’s Ink once I was happy with placement, the cool thing about this ink is that if you ink something up and do not like how it turned out just take a baby wipe and remove it before heat setting….now that is cool!
I stamped out “Create ART” and “Every Day” with EZ-De’s 2″ Flourish Alphabet Stamps onto tissue paper to fit the canvases with Bark ink and heat set.
I applied the stamped tissue paper to the canvases using Earth Safe Finishes Decoupage bringing the tissue paper down over the edges of the canvases, let dry.
I stenciled in several move places onto the canvases to give more depth. Then I put the two canvases together and stenciled over the two two of them where they would meet when hanging for a continuous pattern, heat set.
I had these great metal photo corners I wanted to use although they were different colors….
So the solution was simple, I used Crafter’s Ink in Berry to color the photo corners, then I heat set, applied some Berry Iridescents on the top to highlight and added some Crafter’s Ink in Bark to the edges and heatset again. Then I glued them onto the corners of the canvases with Beacon’s Adhesives Quick Grip.
I also stenciled the sides of the canvases and inked up the edges.
I drilled holes into the bottom of the “Create ART” canvas and added eye screws then I drilled two holes in the top of the “Every Day” canvas added open ended eye screws so that they will attach easily to each other.
I hung them onto the wall using VELCRO® Brand Removable Picture Hangers…
Layering the stencils and using several colors of ink gave this project depth and I loved how it turned out

great showcasing of the stamps
Thanks Ava!
I love what you created with these stencils! I wasn’t aware of Crafter’s Ink and heat setting the ink so it doesn’t smear. I love learning about new products and techniques. I just love the end product and hope to create something like it for my own craft room.
Thanks Denise I am glad you like the project and I agree I learning new techniques too!
Hi There Ann! I’m tour your blog from Rebekah’s blog hop 🙂 The stenciled canvases are soooo neat! I love how the tissue paper just disappears…I haven’t worked on a canvas (yet), but this post is giving me the inspiration to do so 🙂 Great Project! Thanks for sharing! XOXO-Shari
Thanks Shari, I’m glad you like the project and would love to see what you come up with….
Wow!! What a GREAT project. Thanks for walking through the step by step process… I NEVER would have thought you stamped those letters on tissue paper first! AWESOME technique!
Thank you so much Charity….I appreciate the kind words and I am glad you liked the project!
Great project Ann and your Alphabet stamps work so well with Rebekah’s stencils. How nicely the Earth Safe Finish paints coordinate with your inks.
