Doodling Templates

I just completed a very fun review on The Scrap Review on The Crafter's Workshop doodle templates. I don't think I can say enough about these templates. They are so versatile and fun to use. This week, I'll be going through my projects and giving you more details on how and why they were made.

I've been itching to do a page with this pic of Cam that my good friend, Sara, took years ago. I went through my stash of papers and put this layout together pretty quickly.

 

Materials: Crafter's Workshop doodle template; Bazzil cardstock; SRM stickers; Sassafras Lass monster pattern paper; Scrap in Style TV paper, ribbon, construction and label stickers; Heidi Swapp butterfly; Delta acrylic paint; micron pen; Distress ink;

You can see the sun burst behind my embellie block. I simply used a stiple brush, my template and black acrylic paint. When you apply your paint, make sure that your brush isn't too wet or it will seep under the template (aka stencil). Also, apply the paint with tapping motions as opposed to swooshing motions.

I used a lot of older papers on this layout, but I kept them fresh with the addition of the cute monsters (Sassafras Lass). One of my favorite things is to combine papers from multiple companies. It adds a bit of unexpected spice to a piece. Don't you think?

By the way, a big thank you to Dan who left a comment with the name of the foam that I use to ink my edges. It's called Cut'n'Dry Foam, by Ranger. (I couldn't remember the name while filming the videos here and here.)

Oh, and Kendra asked me where I purchase my malted milk powder for this recipe. I get it at the grocery store. The last time I found it in the tea aisle. (Go figure...)

Happy Monday!
