Stenciled Zipper Tote #SGPCCBmatchup

Today we have our last Crew Member Lynne Forsythe sharing her Stenciled Zipper Bag as part of the #SGPCCBmatchup. Don’t run away because the month long matchup goes until the end of April! Have you shared one of the posts and included the hashtag #SGPCCBmatchup? Who knows, you could be our next Matchup Winner??

Howdy Canvas Corp Brands and StencilGirl Products Fans!!! I am so excited to share my projects with you. As you know the theme of our matchup has been SURFACES and how our brands work SO WELL together. I received my DT package right before I was getting ready to venture out on a road trip. So, I grabbed the Canvas Corp ~ Canvas Zipper Bag, filled it with 7gypsies goodies and off we went. (I like documenting our road trips!!) When I returned home I couldn’t WAIT to Dress Up my bag for my next trip!

Stenciled Zippered tote in the Making

First thing I did, was to cut a piece of cardboard and put it inside the Zipper Bag. Next, I pulled out a few of my StencilGirl Products stencils: Brick Factory, Heart Grid stencil and Corrugated Lines Stencil Small. I went to my wall of color and chose four Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam: Camel, Tail Fin, Just Peachy and Roses R Red. The reason I chose to use Glimmer Glam is it’s easier to control and reacts the least to water when dry.

Applying color to my surface

I set the Zipper bag aside to dry and pulled out a Canvas Corp ~ Canvas Shape Rectangle and the StencilGirl Products: Trivet a Stencil. Once again, I applied the Glimmer Glam with a stencil brush.

Applying color to my faux pocket

I pulled out a piece of Canvas Corp ~ Canvas Garland and gave it a good spritz with water. Then I applied Tail Fin ~ Glimmer Glam to the edges and let it bleed into the fabric. I repeated this process on my faux pocket using Just Peachy ~ Glimmer Glam and around the edges of my Zipper Bag using Camel ~ Glimmer Glam.

Coloring Canvas Garland

When everything was dry I put my Zippered Bag together.I tore a piece of Canvas Corp Ticking for an accent along with two vintage buttons. I decided a Ivory Burlap Flower with another vintage button would look PERFECT on the front of my bag.

a few close ups

I hope you have enjoyed my Stenciled Zipper Tote for the #SGPCCBmatchup. I know I had a fun time making it and will be sporting it on my next trip.
