Create a Circle Card Using Japanese Geometric Stencils -with Briana

Greetings Everyone!

I hope this post finds you well.

I am always up for creating some unique mail art, and I also really love circles. I recently sent a friend a circle card with a stamp on it, you know, like a postcard, and it made it to her just fine!

So, that inspired me to create more circle cards.

Today I am making use of the incredible Japanese Geometric Stencil Series from artistcellar.

Other supplies are as follows:

• Circle template
• Pencil
• Gel Pens
• Acrylic Paint
• Cosmetic Wedge
• Posca Paint Pens
• Derwent Colored Pencils

My idea is to create some layers or at least a circle within a circle, using the “Hemp Flower” and “Weave” stencils.

Here’s a step-by-step tutorial.

Step 1:

Play around with the stencils and the circle template to see what you like.

Step 2:

Add some acrylic paint with a cosmetic wedge through the stencil, creating an inner circle.

Step 3:

Choose a second stencil for the outer circle area.

Step 4:

Apply a second color of paint through the stencil, using a cosmetic wedge.

Step 5:

Use a pencil, gel pens, paint pens, and colored pencils to create some doodle designs. When you add your own “hand” to a card, I feel that makes it more personal and engaging.

You can even use the circle template to create another circle.

Then play with colored pencils to add some more color!

P.S. These Derwent colored pencils are so smooooooth and a joy to color with!

I hope you have fun creating a circle card!

Sending Blessings to you!
