This is an old cross post. I started to play with stencils. It could have worked if I had not been so excited and prepped more. This is from July 2008 Just sharing more of my Re-vamping, this is actually kind of fun, having something that no-one wanted and re-doing it into something else.
Anyway a few stencils, an airbrush and some fabric paint and wallah a cossi with a new lease of life.
I was going to add some rhinestones to it but I wasn't sure how well they would hold on stretchy material.

After front closeup- There are a few colors on the stencil, mainly because I was trying to do it in the gold paint, I thought it would be more opaque as it said it was, but it didn't turn out so I had to re-do it with a darker color. Also, I decided to add the water effect because I am a ninny and got caught up in the excitement of doing it that I forgot to mask off the rest of it for pain over spray, so I had to incorporate it into the "scene"
