Wendy Vecchi Stencil Binder

Hello Crafty People! This month for the Wendy Vecchi Make Art Challenge, the April Challenge is to use her Archival ReInkers. Of course, I have all her colors on hand, and happen to have one of her Art Part Stencil Binders that was beckoning to be used. So I made this one to house all of my Studio 490 Stencils to take with me when I go out of town...so handy, so functional, so practical and now so beautiful.
I used Wendy's Splattered Plaster technique for the background of the binder, both sides. I also embossed the Vintage Lace Background Stamp at the bottom of each piece, using only half of the stamp, and then used Fern Green Embossing Powder.  Then I stamped the Script Background Stamp over parts of each cover. Sorry for the lack of photos, but somehow my camera did not save all the step out photos I took of making this. UGH!
To make the tag, I used Wendy's technique for Archival Ink/Rubbing Alcohol Background, using the Ranger Archival ReInkers...seriously a favorite technique. Then I embossed the Vintage Quilt with Gold Embossing Paste.
I did Wendy's technique for Faux Graniteware on the Mat Mini Pitcher. I stamped the rose on Specialty stamping paper, embossed it in Clear and colored it in with Distress Markers. 
This is the only picture that was saved on my camera. I stamped Wendy's butterfly in Jet Black on the binder cover and again on packaging for a stencil. I cut in out inked it with Tim's Wild Honey Distress Ink, cut it out and layered it on the stamped butterfly on the cover. I also cut out the title pieces from the packaging, inked those and added them to the cover. Then I used a black and white gel pens to doodle on the cover.
 
 
 
 
 
I hope you join in on the challenge...so fun! And, if you get a chance to snag a Stencil Binder, do, because it makes housing your stencils so much easier. Now I'm off to go celebrate my birthday! WOOHOO!!!

Supplies:

I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

  15. Oh I love this!!!! The binder itself looks fantastic, but I so like the idea of it too! I am always looking for clever ways to store my stencils, and of course this makes complete sense, it totally works for my Tim stencils, so why did I never think of this, - brilliant all round and such a great use of Wendy's wonderful techniques too!

  16. Happy Belated B-Day, Anita!! I've been out of blogland for a couple of weeks and look what I've missed!! :) But, I'm coming around and trying to play catch-up...I just had to come by and say WOWIE!! I'm just loving the binders you're making for your stencils!! This one for your WV stencils is just lovely!! So, you had to punch holes in your WV stencils? I just have all of my stencils (I'm talking all of them, WV-TH-Dyan Reaveley-Andy Skinner...) in a manila file folder right now, all loosey-goosey like. I think I'd rather have them all nice and neatly organized in a binder like yours :) Oh boy--more stuff to put on the crafty wish list :)
    Hope you had a GREAT 29th b-day!! (29 Forever!) :) :) XOXO-Shari
