Playing with the Planner Essentials Planner Stencils

May 12, 2022

Hello lovely people, my name is Devid and today I am sharing a project that I have made using the brand new Planner Essentials Planner Stencils. I am using set 2 today and use 5 different stencils to create a technique called: stencil layering technique. it creates a lot of depth. On the ECD planners and Journaling Facebook group there is a monthly challenge. this month it was: use your two favorite colors. Mine are vintage photo and salvaged patina from the Distress collection. Below you can see a simple step by step tutorial of how i made this beautiful page:

using Distress oxide in vintage photo I color in all the different stencils, just layering one over the other

when done with al 5 stencils i start over again, this time using Distress oxide salvaged patina.

next i repeat the same process on the circle.

ater drying for a while i come in with a brush to soften the stencil lines, taking a way the stark white of the background. Next i sprayed with water to activate the oxides and “blur” everything out.

Using frayed burlap I edge the page to add to the vintage look, finishing of with Blacks sooth to darken the edge.

The word May and the birds are cut out with the Elizabeth Craft Designs double sided adhesive on the back. This made it so easy to attach them to the page. When all was sticked on I came in with hickory smoke re-inker to create a shadow under the birds and around the circle.

and here is the finished page in my planner. I love the vintage, grungy feel this page has. The Planner stencils are a dream to work with and are of a great quality. What a great addition to the Planner Essentials Collection!
