Stenciled Magnets Tutorial

Hi friends! I hope you are well! It is Monday and we have a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge for you.

This week our theme is Home Decor. I love to make home decor pieces of different types. Don't miss the beautiful Christmas project by our October guest designer Lori E Kennedy aka cr8tive_lori.

I made two fridge magnets this week, partly because I found these small wooden squares which I bought years ago in South Africa. I made some magnets of them then and thought it would be fun to add to the collection on the fridge. Stencils and texture paste were used to create the texture. The magnets are 2x2 in.

Start by coating the wooden squares with gesso. You can also use chipboard or mat board as a base, or a small canvas.

Apply texture paste through Simon Says Stamp Cosmo Flowers and Mix and Match Circles stencils. Let dry.

Paint with watered down Distress Paint. Mist with more water if needed.

Paint around the flower with Ground Espresso to make it stand out better from the background. Place the Mix and Match Circles Stencil back on the design and paint the circles turquoise.

Stamp on the circles with small stamps. Mine come from Simon Says Stamp Thoughtful Flowers, Mix and Match Squares and Anna's Flowers. Apply Sizzix Gold and Rose Gold Luster Wax to the edges, the flower center and here and there. Apply Ranger's Nebula Stickles Glitter Gel to the flower and around the circles.

I used only neutral shades for the cosmo flower magnet. I used Rose Gold Luster Wax at the flower center. It is difficult to capture all the sparkle in a photo.

The Nebula Stickles have different sizes of glitter and also some star sequins.

The sentiment comes from Simon Says Stamp Anna's Flowers.

The circle magnet has more colors and more stamping. 

The Thoughtful Flowers butterfly was colored with a brown Distress Watercolor Pencil.

Here you can see the combination of the Luster Wax and the Nebula Stickles.
