Silver Leaf Stenciled Ceiling

Stenciling We Love: Day 18

Silver Leaf Stenciled Ceiling

Debra Campbell, the owner of Wallartistry, stenciled this custom ceiling design over a metallic acrylic plaster background. After allowing the plaster to dry, Debra applied the stencil and rolled a coat of water-based gilding size and let it tack up. She then used aluminum leafing sheets and rubbed the leaf with a t-shirt towel. To give the leaf a bit of a patina and to prevent tarnishing, Debra waxed it with walnut Liberon wax. Lastly, she went back into the design with some additional wax on a brush to accent some areas, pulled the stencil, and voila!

Debra Campbell has been creating decorative finishes for over 15 years and started Wallartistry in 2000. She recently opened a school teaching Safra plasters and will be expanding class offerings in the coming months.
