Vintage Camper Make Over on Cabinet Doors Raised Stencil Tutorial

This is the finished look of the cabinet doors in my vintage camper.  I used Joint Compound to make a raised stencil design on the cabinet doors.  The cabinets did not have to be removed as they were still in good shape but they were not in the best of shape with peeling paneling pieces that were either coming off or even missing completely in spots. So this was my solution for something pretty and different.  . After receiving several questions on how I made it, I thought I would doing a tutorial. 
Picture
Materials need:
Wallboard Joint Compound
Putty Spatula
Stencil 
Cabinet Door

Picture
Place your stencil design of choice on the cabinet door.  
Picture
Next take a glob of the joint compound on your spatula.
Picture
Spread your joint compound over the stencil
Picture
Lift stencil straight up to remove the stencil. You will now have your stenciled design. 
Picture
I wanted a little more texture on the door, so I randomly placed more of the joint compound around the design.
Picture
Let dry completely.  You may now sand any rough edges if you so desire.  
Picture
You are now ready to paint. I used a gray base coat of chalk paint. 
Picture
​After the base coat has completely dried.  I added an off white paint to highlight.  I used a dry brushing technique, but left the paint a little bit heavier on brush. 
Picture
​Distress and wax to complete, as desired.
I love how easy this is to add a design and texture to a surface.  Remember to have fun with your projects.  See a Secretary Chest of Drawers, I used the very same technique, visit here.
