Grungy stenciling with a Gel Plate

Can you stencil using paint without a brush or a cosmetic sponge? Yes! Then what was used to apply the paint? A gel plate! Not only did it make for speedy stenciling, it also gave it a grungy flair. Along with the stenciling and art journaling tutorial you'll see the exact moment that the cranky critical voice in my head started acting up. It wanted to know why I was doing this and that voice didn't like my answer at all. Full supply list and photos on the blog at https://acolorfuljourney.com/?p=25573

I’m Carolyn Dube, a self taught mixed media art adventurer who has rediscovered play.  I play with every color of the rainbow, avoid rules whenever possible, and let the little kid inside of me free.  Visit the blog where I’m sharing the journey at http://acolorfuljourney.com/ and get my newsletter with downloadable Sparks of Art-spiration and more at http://acolorfuljourney.com/?page_id=6431

Join the fun in my free mixed media workshop Permission to Play http://bit.ly/2sdGx2j

You can find my articles in magazines such as Somerset Studio and Cloth Paper Scissors, spot me teaching in person and online workshops, designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, and sharing the message of O.O.P.S.

What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.

Those “failures” and “mistakes” that I had so harshly criticized myself about actually became true gifts as soon as I started saying O.O.P.S.   Try saying Oops in an angry tone.  It makes it even more silly! I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play.  I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.
