Modeling Paste and Stencils Tutorial

Creating dimension and texture is easy when you've got modeling paste and stencils! It's surprisingly like frosting a cake! Plus you'll see something rarely ever seen in my videos, I'm cleaning a stencil! What's in this video is just some of what you can do with modeling paste, and stencils for that matter!

You can find me designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, teaching in person and online workshops and sharing the message of O.O.P.S. here on TH-cam and on the blog, aColorfulJourney.com
What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
Those “failures” and “mistakes” that we so harshly criticized ourselves about actually became true gifts as soon as you start saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly!
I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.

Krásný nápad 🥰

I tried using a light modeling paste directly into my art journal, and had trouble getting the stencil to lay flat. I think I’ll try using tissue paper, stuck to my gel plate, so that I can glue in a translucent layer.

That was so cool, have to grab some modeling paste. Why is it so different from all the other products we use on stencils. I use Tim Holtz texture paste in the matt finesh usually. Just curious. Thanks for this great tutorial

[@CarolynDube]

Glad you enjoyed it Bonnie! I haven't used texture paste so can't tell you, but I would assume it could do something similar!

[@Vorachan1111]

I don’t have modeling paste, but I do have spackling paste. Can I add paint to that and use it the same way?

[@janicestewart8291]

Where can your stencils be purchased?

[@karenmilligan3590]

Why not add the black to the paste jar? It's the end of the jar. Then if you don't use it all you have a covered container. I'm guessing you can add new white paste and make more black when you want it..
