Morning Peeps,
Cor, there have been some utterly divine projects on here recently, I have just been catching up! I am here today with my DT hat on *actually, I haven’t really got a hat, but you know what I mean LOL* I have been staring at my ShapeBoss for a few weeks now, thinking of different ways of using the stencils other than in the ShapeBoss itself and decided I would use some Texture Paste and see what happened… and… result! It works!
I used the Sampler Template that comes with the ShapeBoss and took just part of the stencil and popped it onto a little canvas board, I then used a spatula and spread the texture paste over the stencil… I tried to keep the same level of paste right across so it wasn’t too uneven. Carefully removing the stencil… you get a fab design of paste… so I then picked up the excess from the actual stencil and dabbled it onto the top corner of the canvas board.
Next, using a heatgun, I heated and dried the texture paste…this stuff is great because it goes a bit bubbly and bumpy and gives a really raised effect.
I added paints over the top of the design, starting with a pale one *Traditional Tan - if you have read my blog you will know I looove this stuff LOL* a bit of black and then some gold metallic paint to emphasise the raised bits. Finally I used a stipple brush and dragged a teensy bit of red paint over the edges… this just adds in a subtle amount of colour.
I used the Fiskars XL Flower Squeeze Punch to make a big blossom - punching out loads of flowers using old book pages - I then coloured them with inks and stuck them together to make a flouncy bloom. The sentiment was made using a good old Dymo tape machine, I popped some beaded fringing on the bottom of the board.. and lastly, I made a hanger for the piece using some rusty wire.
I hope you like this little hangy piece… I am now looking at the ShapeBoss to see what else I can do with it :O)) Thanks for looking … see ya soon…

Gorgeous Hels - love the texture, and such a fab idea! Must try that one…x
What a fab project…I’m off to give it a go as I have that template and haven’t used it for a long time. Thanks!!
Hey Hels Hon! I’ve been seeing you use Terra a few times and I am so intrigued! I have the Viva pearl pens, but haven’t experimented with the Terra yet - I’ll def be adding that to my list. I love your canvas! The flower is gorgeous, and the texture, and the paint, and the Dymo - love it all! Awesome job!
You make it all look so easy!! At least now I know what you do with some of that stuff you all play with! The finished piece is lovely.
Just brilliant Hels X
Love the way this was done, (glad I clicked here now) looks fun todo, have used ordinary UHU glue to get a raised swirl before now, but never a stencil. great
Hel’s this is just gorgeous, great idea to use the template, I might have a bash at this one!
what a great idea! I had almost decided to get rid of my shapeboss as I have never used it, its still in its box, I,m planning on doing a little canvas tonight so think your idea might be appearing on it
great project!
Love this , Great instructions and photos too. So easy to understand !
Lovely project

That is gorgeous Hels!!! I love how you did it. Now I am going to have to give that, or something similar, a try! I think I searched for Tera here in the United States and couldn’t find it… drats!! But, hey, in honor of YOU, I bought some trad tan!! Won’t you be proud when I finally use it or maybe not… LOL Thanks for more wonderful tricks!!!
