I know it's almost time for the reveal of the January stencils for Stencil Club. (And guess what -- I'm the designer for them!)
I also used my Medallions stencil from Stencil Girl. I have to admit that I'm partial to it...
I used a cigar box, black gesso, metallic paint, acrylic paint and glazing medium, tissue paper, matte medium, and some patterned paper I had in my stash. I was so engrossed in the process that I didn't take pictures, but here's a video.
You can also watch "Altering a Cigar Box Using Stencils" on You Tube here.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year! See you soon.
Your comments make me so happy and let me know you were here. I read and treasure every comment and will happily answer any questions as soon as I can.
This is really beautiful. Well done :)
ReplyDeleteomg - I've loved cigar boxes since I was a pre-schooler - we lived in an apartment right under a cigar/candy store... and the owner used to give me the empty cigar boxes to keep my little treasures in... ;-) some of my boxes are over 60 years old! love your 'makeover' - might try this with one or more of mine!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gift! I love the idea of stenciling on tissue and gluing that on. I probably could have saved myself a lot of aggravation by doing that!

What a beautiful transformation! Love the stenciling on the inside cover, too.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky Freddie is to receive this gift from his beautiful wife. I love the way it looks deep and mysterious. What will he put in it?
