Stencil Creme Paints on the Exterior:

 

Materials:
  • Oil based stencil creme paint
  • Cosmetic wedges
  • Cotton Balls
  • Fingernail polish remover

 

 
I like the stencil creme paints, but when using the oil paints in the previous steps you may just want to skip these paints. As you make more dolls you will discover which combinations work for you.  Remain flexible--try new combinations and new things.  If you don't like it remove it with the fingernail polish and start again.  Have fun with your dolls and enjoy the reborning process.  
The stencil creme paints come in small plastic jars in a variety of colors. 

I use a toothpick to pull the "skin" layer off of the top and peel off and discard.  Then using a cosmetic wedge rub one side into the paint.  The paint is very hard.  You can add a few drops of baby oil (or like product) to help.  Then rub the paint onto the vinyl.  Use another wedge and blend the paint into the vinyl and wipe off the excess.  After the entire piece has been done, go over it all again with a cotton puff and then set aside to dry. 

I often call this a paint "rub" as it reminds me of the spices you rub into ribs or other meats before grilling, etc.

 

 

 

Before and After:

Before is the bottom arm and after is the top arm in the picture.  Please note I did a little more blending and buffing after this picture was taken, but hope you can get an idea of the color difference.

 

Blushing with Stencil Creme Paint:

 

 
Materials:
  • Stencil creme paint(s)
  • Cosmetic wedges
  • Cotton Puffs

 

For the blushing you don't want to blend the paint in all over the limbs as described above. 

First, remove the skin layer off of the top of the paint.  Using a cosmetic wedge place it on the paint and pick up a small amount to use.  Rub the paint onto the various areas that you want blushed.  Before the paint dries take a clean dry cotton puff and blend the paint into the vinyl.

If you do not like the color or need to redo a section you may soak a cotton puff with fingernail polish remover and rub the area that you just painted.

Before leg/foot on the left and after on the right.  The camera didn't capture the details and color as well as hoped.

The legs  were blushed with the stencil creme paint colors Crimson Red (mostly) and Black Cherry.  (Also note, the leg/foot on the right has the veins added as well)
