I love working with paints and inks on the stencils so that's what we did here. Father's Day is around the corner, and this would be fun gift to give to Dad.
This is a Masonite Male Bust XL cut-out from Retro Cafe Art Gallery that comes with 4 pieces. It also has a heart and a crown.
First I base coated both pieces with Stone Fresco Paint.
Then I added several greens to the back with foam squares.
I used Eggplant paint to add the "456" and "secret" sections of the stencil. Dark Blue Tombow and White Sharpie pen marks are next. The "Enter" part on the right is stenciled with Black Archival Ink.
I filled in 3 spots with a small stamp and Sepia Archival Ink, then stamped "man" on the head with Jet Black Ink.
I liked this side the best, so it's the front to me. Again using the stencil, only with a Snow Cap White paint dabber, I added the areas as shown. Then to highlight them, I outlined them in dark blue pen. The same stamps were used on this side.
Here's a detailed closeup of the stand.
The base is painted with 3 Fresco Paints and stenciled using Jet Black Archival Ink.
The White Sharpie Pen makes the colors pop.
I painted the Crown and the Medium Gear Wheels with Tarnished Brass Distress Paint and stamped an image on the Crown from Lynne Perrella's LPC028 collection. This set also has the other small stamp I used.
Then I drilled a hole in the base and added a length of chain with 2 die cut Mini Clock Keys of black chipboard glued together for the pull.
Glue on your wheels and you're good to go! And they really turn!
That's it for me. Check out the other fantastic Artists on the Hop, and don't forget to leave a comment to win a chance for a StencilGirl Prize!!!

Linda, your man is so cool! What a great idea and I love your techniques, colors and all of it.
Great Father's Day gift!
Linda.. i love this from head to toe.. even though there are no toes. The colors and that added crown. Wow. Great hopping with you.
These stencils are so gorgeous that I would just use a piece of dark beige watercolor paper, lay the stencil down & color with acrylic paints on a Gelli Plate. Once dry, I would then use a micron black ink pen to outline & highlight the parts of the stencil that I want to stand out (probably the words). I would then frame the pieces, probably using a black mat. Gorgeous!
What a fantastic way to use the stencils! Beautiful work!
Love this and your colors!
