I'm so honoured to take part on this week's blog hop, playing with the standup 6*6 bass stencil, together with a group of excepcionally creative women. Thank you so much for inviting me Nat!
Bienvenidos a un nuevo blog hop de Nathalie Kalbach
Como muchas sabéis, my amiga Nathalie (n*studio) ha diseñado unos fantásticos stencils para Stencil Girl Products
Es genial que una de las personas más creativas que conozco te invite por dos veces a jugar con sus stencils.
Estoy encantada y muy orgullosa de participar en el blog hop de esta semana, con el stencil de 6*6 del contrabajo, junto a un grupo de artistas excepcionales. Muchas gracias Nat!
I've been always surrounded by music. My brother played the spanish guitar, my sister the violin and I played the piano. When it came to practice the three of us at once ...well, go figure!
That's why this stencil is perfect for me. I've already done some projects with a music theme, and this time, I have a special spot to hang this one.
Siempre he estado rodeada de música. Mi hermano tocaba la guitarra clásica, mi hermana el violín y yo el piano. Imaginaos el caos cuando teníamos que practicar o ensayar todos a la vez...
Por eso, este stencil es perfecto para mí. Ya he hecho varios proyectos con un tema musical, y esta vez, le he encontrado el sitio ideal en el cuarto de mi hija.
I used the stencil to hand-carve a stamp
1 & 2. Place the stencil over a carving block and trace it with a pen
3. Carefully, start carving. You can either do the positive or the negative stamp. It's your choice which part you want to carve.
4. Let's check the stamp :) beautiful
Este el es paso a paso.
He usado el stencil para carvar un sello a mano.
1 y 2. Poner y asegurar el stencil sobre el bloque de carvar y contornearlo con un boli
3. Con cuidado, empezar a carvar. Puedes hacer tanto el positivo como el negativo.
4. Comprueba cómo estampa. Me encanta.
Now with the frame.
5. I stained a music sheet with dylusions and distress stains
6. Once dry, apply a thin coat of gesso here and there, with a plastic card. Let it dry.
7. Stamp the bass. I traced the edge with a white pen
8. I wrote the famous quote by Hans Christian Andersen "Where words fail, music speaks", directly in the cardboard of the frame, with a white paint pen.
Y ahora veamos el marco
5. Con tinta dylusions y distress stains, he manchado una hoja de música.
6. Una vez seco, aplica una capa fina de gesso con una tarjeta de plástico y deja que seque.
7. Estampa el sello y repasa los bordes con un rotu blanco.
8. Para acabar, he escrito con rotu blanco la famosa cita de Hans Christian Andersen, "Donde fallan las palabras, habla la música", directamente en el tablero del marco.
I really love how it turned out. I hope you like it too, and try to give another use to your stencils. Imagine the possibilities of a matching stencil and stamp :)
Me encanta cómo ha quedado. Espero que también te guste y pruebes a dar otro uso a tus stencils. Imagina las posibilidades de un stencil y un sello a juego :)
And now, do not miss what these artists made with the stencil.
