Post subject: | Stone Texture Tutorial | |||||||
Here is the tutorial for making a stone-like surface on your little house. First the materials: Cardboard house – flat piece before it is glued together Gesso – to prime the house before the stenciling Stone stencil – I used Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Mini Layering Stencil Set #28 Texture paste – Ranger’s Tim Holtz Distress Grit-Paste Spatula or Palette Knife – I actually used a regular plastic knife Painter’s Tape – so the tape can be removed easily and won’t tear your project Various paints in stone-like shades such as grey colors, a variety of brown shades and a highlight yellow shade. The stencil I used is very narrow so I actually bought 2 of them and glued them together with E6000 glue so the stencil would cover the face of the house pattern. There are other larger stencils, but I like this scale and design so I modified the stencil specifically to decorate little houses. Photo 1. Tape the stencil to one face of the house which has been painted with gesso. Photo 2. Spread the texture paste on the stencil. Spread it thin enough so you can just barely see the stencil. If it is too thick, the paste will flop over and mush together when you lift the stencil. No photo for this step. Gently loosen the tape at the bottom and lift the stencil from the bottom up. If the texture paste messes up when you lift the stencil, no big deal. You can just scrape off the texture paste and re-use it. Photo 3. Texture paste stenciled on the surface of the cardboard house pattern. No photo - let dry before you go onto the other sides of the house. This brand of texture paste cannot be heated because it will puff up and lose its shape if you do. You can use a fan, but it still takes a little while. The paste has to be dry because you are going to cover it with some painter's tape and you don't want it to pull up. Photo 4 - Paint the background color. I don't want my "mortar" between the stones to be perfectly white so I painted the stones with my lightest brownish gray paint. Photo 5 - Paint with alternating colors of brown and grey. Photo 6 - Close-up of the stone texture. That's it. Lucy https://paperglitterglue.com/stone-texture-how-to-add-to-your-papercrafts/
