Even beginners get great results! Cutting Edge Stencils now offers the ultimate Faux Fresco stencils. These stencils were inspired by the famous Livia's Garden Frescoes of ancient Rome and developed by our decorative painting company, www.specfindesigns.com. Our designs include a series of large trees, hanging branches, wild flowers, ferns and ground covers, various small branches and assorted fruits. These stencils combined with a little imagination and some hand painted accents can produce an incredible looking Faux Fresco Mural in a fraction of the time. Faux Fresco stencils can also be used to produce individual fresco art panels and fresco friezes. Got textured walls? No problem! If your walls have a light/medium texture, they are quite suitable for stenciling. With textured wall it is better to use a stencil brush. It’s especially important that you put very little paint on your brush, always off-load it on a paper towel, and use rubbing/dabbing motion while stenciling. Using a spray adhesive also helps a lot to prevent any seepage of paint under the stencils. But again, you'll not get any seepage with textured walls if you use very little paint on your brush. If you try using a foam roller, definitely use spray adhesive, ( we love Elmer’s) use very little paint and don't press hard on the roller to avoid seepage. When stenciling on fabric, stencil adhesive as a must. First, tape your ironed fabric to the surface so it doesn't move around while you stencil. Use stencil brushes, not roller, and add some textile medium ( sold in craft stores) to your acrylic paint. You can also get a special fabric paint, but, frankly, good craft acrylics with a dollop of textile medium work just as well, and cost way less too! :) Let the stenciled image dry completely, 24 hours is best, then heat-set it by ironing the fabric for about 20 sec. ( more or less) on a LOW setting through the piece of cloth. Heat-setting will cure the paint and will prevent it from being washed off in the washing machine. Always experiment with a sample of your fabric first to ensure good results. I've stenciled on silk, cotton, linen and even sheer fabrics with great results. It's always better if your fabric doesn't have too much texture.
