Painting...

The painting is 70 x 70 cm  (27.55 x 27.55 inch) 

Tutorial: Make your own template

A really simple way to make your own stencil  / mask is with a glue gun. 

You need a glue gun, glue sticks and a craft sheet!

 If necessary you can draw your design on a piece of paper and place it under your craftsheet. You can still see it lightly.

Then start tracing your design...

Wait untill it dries...

Once it is dry, you can peel it right off the sheet...

That's it... All done!

Ready to use...

These are some designs...

On the pictures: My Mam and Dad in the sixties!

Short tutorial

To start with the first layer: Gesso    

Then you draw the girl. With a regular graphite pencil.

Then you start to color your girl with acrylics.

Studio Paint, Ranger Dabber and Golden Acrylics

Then start outlining with a fine-nib marker. 

And I gave her a pair of rub-on wings.

 For the background I used a mix between: Golden FluidAcrylic Cobalt      Teal, Dabber Acrylic Pearl and Perfect Pearls Pearl. 
Dry carefull with a heattool!

Next a layer of Glossy Decopage. 

You can also use Glossy Gel Medium or Glossy Mod Podge. 

And finally add some stars to the background. 
I used a Crafters Workshop Template and some Mister Huey´s Mist White or Distress Stain Picket Fence. 
Some embellishments 
and 

she´s ready to hang in the tree...
