Just found your site. Thank you for sharing your technique of using makeup sponges to apply the watercolor through the stencils and then drying them off before lifting. It’s a game changer !

Great work! What kind of sponge do you use to apply the paint please? I have had poor results with sponges but yours looks great.

@ErinDeCoste 3 жыл бұрын

I just use those wedge makeup sponges. (You can get them cheap from a dollar store or really any retail shop.) just make sure your sponge isn’t overly saturated (wet) because then the watercolor will seep under the stencil. Best of luck! Xo

@marienepomuceno 3 жыл бұрын

I’ve tried and failed this technique. Probably because I did it in an art journal that’s just clear gesso’d and I’m not using good quality watercolour paper 😞

oh boo! that's no fun! I'm sorry it didn't work out as you'd hoped. Maybe I'll have to try it that way and see if I can come up with any tips or tricks.

I am so onsessed with stencils but too student-loan-poor to buy them much. Lately, Ive been considering getting an electronic die-cutting machine so that I could make my own. The unlimited stencils might be worth the upfront investment.

*obsessed

@ErinDeCoste 7 жыл бұрын

Yes! That would totally work! I've created a couple of my own stencils using my silhouette cameo. Plus you could use it for die cuts and cut words and so many other things too! (I think I might be an enabler 😏 watch out! Haha)

@kajellio 7 жыл бұрын

Don't worry. I'm frugal enough (and have enough student loans) that making such a huge purchase won't be the result of anyone's encouragement, unless the encouragement comes in the form of 💰 money. 😉

@ErinDeCoste 7 жыл бұрын

Also, if you have any Tuesday mornings near you- go raid them! I get a lot of really cool stencils there for under $5 each! It can be like a treasure hunt because sometimes they pile them in with all the paper packs but just FYI 😉

The TM here opened earlier this summer and it's terrible. I don't think they've gotten new stock in the craft section since they opened. I've gotten a few good things there but most visits have been seriously disappointing and, believe me, I hunt.
