So often I used a stencil as part of something, where the shapes become a piece of a larger whole, rather than the focus of whatever I’m creating.\u00a0 For today’s page I decided that the stencil would be “more”, more the focus and less a layer in the background.\u00a0 So that’s this week’s prompt: Use a stencil, but in such a way that it’s the focus of the page.<\/p>\n

I’ll be honest, the end result is not what I envisioned in my mind’s eye, but I’ll also say what I had floating in my head was pretty nebulous and not really fleshed out.\u00a0 I knew I wanted the stencil to be the dominant part of the design, but that was about all.<\/p>\n

I think what leaves me less satisfied is that the doodling really took over and the stencil design kind of fell into the background, though I will admit to liking the overall effect.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-43-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I started the page by spraying on some colors, chosen at random from the bottles scattered over my work bench.\u00a0 I love this particular look; complimentary colors (as defined by the color wheel) are magical when carefully combined to avoid making a muddy mess.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-43-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of my favorite color mixes is Dylusions Pomegranate Seed<\/a> and Black Marble<\/a>.\u00a0 It produces a deep pinkish red color that is just amazing.\u00a0 Adding more or less Black Marble completely changes the final color, and for this page I went very deep, so that the color looks very nearly black in places.\u00a0 Rather than scoop a little out and mix the color, I dabbed some of each on my Mini Ink Blending Tool <\/a>and let it mix on the Blending Foam<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I chose Dylusions Paint<\/a> because it dries to a very matt finish that allows doodling with nearly any kind of pen.<\/p>\n

The stencil is our 9″ x 12″ Ancient Ruins<\/a> one.\u00a0 I picked it because I like the blocky look and because I knew those areas would provide perfect fodder for doodles.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-43-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fantastic!\u00a0 Now THIS is what I was looking for.\u00a0 Trouble was, I had no idea where I wanted to take it next.\u00a0 I knew I wanted to doodle, so for a change I grabbed Gelly Roll Pens<\/a> rather than the Sharpies I tend to reach for automatically.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-43-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All of the blocks are outlined with a Medium White Gelly Roll Pen<\/a>.\u00a0 Just white; no metallic or glitter.\u00a0 I saved those for the inside of the block doodles.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-43-5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More doodles.\u00a0 More and more of them.\u00a0 None are particularly elaborate, but the effect of them as a whole is pretty interesting.\u00a0 Lots of the metallic Gelly Roll Pens and I threw in a few of the Stardust ones, which have glitter in the ink.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-43-6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Getting there…<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-43-7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finished!\u00a0 As I said, the page is not exactly what I had in mind, but it’s\u00a0complete and I can say that I do like the overall effect, even if the doodles did take over and become the focus.<\/p>\n
