I'm super excited to have my 4th StencilGirl group of designs debut today. This group has a geometric I call Picnic Check; a leafy floral called Woodcut Garden; and....drumroll...a Paper Doll! I have been making and trading arty paper dolls for years in various online groups. You can see the dolls I made over the years here. I have used all kinds of templates and vintage dolls, and nothing was quite perfect, so I finally decided to come up with my own design. Can guess whose little face (from her kindergarten photo) was used for the new stencil design?
I like to mix and match doll parts, so for some of my samples, I experimented with other StencilGirl stencils as well as stamps and downloadable images from The Graphics Fairy and ArtTeaLife. For the middle doll, I used a goddess/princess dress by Carol Wiebe. The wings were a stencil by Kristie Taylor, and the crown a stamp from Gwen Lafluer for PaperArtsy.
Here's a few things I made with my new stencils:
 |
| I made a folding ATC doll (above on left), a journal page about loving your inner child (center), and a poseable paper doll with limbs made from the Woodcut Garden used with pink spray distress ink. |
 |
| Four versions of the Picnic Check: a blue gelli print, and orange and yellow gelliprint, tan embossing powder on black cardstock, and a red and blue acrylic stenciled picnic design. |
 |
| Depending on the colors and mediums used, the Woodcut Garden can look very different. I made an light aqua gelliprint, a white embossed design with a deep pink watercolor resist, an multicolor design using assorted distress oxide inks, and a bold looking version with black ink on tan cardstock. |
Here's a short video I made that shows my dollmaking process:
