Nature and Botanical


We just love using rice papers, because they are so versatile, and when you use them alongside stencils, the results are amazing. 

Shopping List

Mod Podge
Assorted Designs of Rice Paper  (See our collection here)
Stencils (See our range here)

Botanical Fun
1 Choose a focal image from your rice paper and lay it onto the centre.  
    Start layering up all the areas using the 2 different rice papers.
    To tear rice paper, use a paint brush and water and go round the area.  

2 Once your  layout is finished, start fixing to the canvas using mod podge with a flat brush.

3 Once dried, start adding definition and texture effects using your stencils with distress inks.

4 Use your contrasting pink and brown distress inks to blend the sections into each other.  This will make it look like it was one full backing paper not lots of different elements.

5 Add extra elements to your canvas, and finish by adding a layer of mod podge to seal it in.

Top Tip: When using Mod Podge use a flat brush to cover the area, this will give an even covering!
