Stenciled Baby Shoe Centerpiece

14 Apr

My designer friend, Rebekah Meier, has come out with her own line of stencils with The Crafter’s Workshop! She invited me to celebrate their release by being part of a blog hop, which I was very honored to do. Rebekah’s designs are so delicate and beautiful.

I used Rebekah’s Stained Glass and Ring Doily designs to make my project. The die I used was one from my new Cherished collection, Shoe, 3D.

Here’s a quick tutorial on how I made the baby shoe centerpiece… I used my new Clearsnap ColorBox Blends inks to lightly blend Bay, Sunshine, Tutu and Leaf on the inside and outside of the shoe. Then I placed Rebekah’s stencils on top of the shoe pieces and swirled the Nutmeg Blends over the stencil so that the colors come through from behind the stencil negative. I sprayed the back of the stencil with spray adhesive just to make sure things did not shift. You can make the colors as dark or light as you wish by adding layers.

I used my Sizzix Flowers, Layers #9, Flower, Fringed, Leaves, Bloom and Plant Markers and Flower with Heart Petals dies to create the flowers. I also used my new Craffiti stamp set, Animal Crackers, to stamps the sentiment on the stake.

The shoe was laced up with dyed seam binding and I added floral foam to the inside of the shoe with kraft paper crinkles on top of it. Lace was added to the bottom of the shoe.

Make sure to check out all of the different ways you can use stencils over on Rebekah’s blog.
