PaperArtsy Eclectica June 2018 Stamps and Stencils!

Happy Friday, everyone! I’m really delighted to show you my 6 newest PaperArtsy releases!

This week, PaperArtsy is debuting 3 new ESN Eclectica stamps, and 3 coordinating stencils. They’re available first from independent retailers, and you can find the complete (international!) listing at the end of the blog post. Please support these retailers!

Okay, on to the new releases—

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Circles and postmarks….two of my favorite motifs! The quotes are fabulous as focals and that long border can be used as a border or background, or stamped, cut apart and used as separate images. (Plus, I’m mad about that Charlotte Bronte quote!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More inspiring quotes, I designed this set to be used for encouragement and to celebrate new beginnings…whether that’s on a card you make for someone, or an art journal page you do for yourself. (The little 4-point flower motifs are from the old tile floor in the lobby of my apartment building!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More sentiments and collages for encouragement and inspiration. The little postmark icons are great for stamping, cutting out and layering, too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay…now on to stencils!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the circle stencils I own have patterns that are quite perfect and regular…these wonky circles are just slightly irregular (because they were all hand-cut by me!) and I absolutely find them so useful and cool. My favorite is to press an embossing inkpad through the stencil, then adding powder and heat-setting for a dimensional design.

This has become one of my favorites…I call it the Cobblestone Stencil, after the cobblestone streets here in Germany. The stones all different shapes and sizes. (No heels while running for the bus here!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The one above is white embossing powder stenciled through…below is paint stenciling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And one more:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So this stencil has a couple of different elements on it. First, the coffee ring circles (yes, my own!) which can be used beautifully with Grunge Paste. Actually, all the elements can be used with GP, or paint, ink, or sprays. Don’t forget simple pen tracing as well!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Above and below, I’ve used Banana Fresco Finish paint to tint Grunge Paste, then stenciled that through. The watery spatters above are Bougainvillea Fresco Finish paint.
