Today day is day 18 of my 30 day challenge to #SEEdrawPrint. I did not see any reindeer flying over head, but I like the magic of the holiday season, so I searched for some inspiration.
I did some sketches and transferred the shaped silhouette to a manilla folder. I cut out the “hole” stencil and the masking stencil. That way I can use both pieces to create some holiday cards. I will use the cut out masking stencil with the gelatin plate.
When cutting stencils always use a fresh sharp blade and cut out the tiny details first. Cutting stencils is not as hard as it may seem and it allows you to make one of a kind personal images.
I like the texture and colors of the gelatin plate monotype background that I chose for the print above. I gathered 4 or 5 printed papers and added the reindeer silhouette. This way I can see what colors and textures to use for a future set of prints.
Do you have a few background papers that you could add a stenciled image to and create some cards or prints?
Additionally, you will receive a weekly email about printmaking, ideas, tips and courses.
