aspen tree stencil – Walls Stencils, Plaster Stencils, Painting Stencils

Many years ago, the “Domestic Diva” used our Raised Plaster Aspen Tree Stencil with (of all things), caulking to create life sized aspen trees on her wall.

She loved that wall and when she sold the house and moved, it was that Aspen wall that she missed the most! So what did she do in her new space? She did it again!

Here’s the new wall:

On her blog (link below) she explains what she learned from the first go round. She also gives you a photo tutorial of exactly how she did it!

Here’s her before and after on the first wall in her home.

What a statement those trees make on her walls.

Personally, I’ve done the Aspen Trees in every home I’ve lived in since 2004. They have become my personal signature design because I love them so very much.

I really love seeing all the different ideas and treatments people come up with when working with our

Raised Plaster Aspen Tree Stencil set

I really fell in love with what Marianne Meyer from Minneopolis, KS did on her walls.

On the second floor of her home, she did two beautiful aspen trees using just the thinner trunk and tons of branches. She then did a darker color wash of brown paint to give the design more depth.

Being a smart cooking and knowing you can use just parts of a stencil design to create something new, she used just the leafy and bare branch stencils to create a little vignette at the stair landing.

The amount of detail that was achieved was awesome and simply a use to many branches instead of just a few and again, using the color wash to bring out the beautiful detail.

But her true master piece was this plaster aspen tree that literally spans two floors. How awesome and incredible is that?

Just lovely Marianne, and thank you so much for sharing with us!

Beryl Newell has been a Victoria Larsen Stencils customer for a very long time and I love what she does.

She painted her wall a soft cream color which is the perfect backdrop for wide and thin Aspen Tree Trunks from our Raised Plaster Aspen Tree Stencil Set. I love the soft gray shading at each side of the trunks. That really makes them pop against the wall.

Then adding green acrylic paint to the joint compound, she is able to pre-tint the leaves in a soft green.

As we recommend, she has repeated the trunks right up to the ceiling so that they seem to just disappear above the ceiling.

But the think I love most? The sweet little bird she painted on the branch above the window.

Thank you Beryll! So pretty!

Dori thought she would give it a try: Our life-sized, Raised Plaster Aspen Tree Stencil Set.

She first painted her walls deep gray then using joint compound, repeated the trunk from the baseboard up to the ceiling. Adding side branches came next then the leafy branches. On the leaves, she added green paint to the joint compound to save tons of work later!

What a lovely addition to this room! Great job Dori!

Remember that all of our plaster stencils can also be used with paints!

Teresa John knew what she wanted in this room and she found just the stencil to create the look.

She first painted the wall a rich brown color then used our Raised Plaster Aspen Tree Stencil Set to create ceiling to floor trees to completely fill this lovely wall.

Using the joint compound as we recommend, she creates knarly looking bark that looks and feels like real bark!

Pre-tinting a portion of the joint compound with green paint took the step of having to paint the leaves completely away.

She called it fun…..I call it rustic elegance in a stencil!

Jeanne Antonio decided she wanted something really grand on her bedroom bed wall.

Coming across our Raised Plaster Aspen Tree Stencil Set, she knew that was just the thing!

Plastering the trees over the blue walls was easy with just joint compound. I love how she crossed some trees over the top of others.

Leaving the trunks in brilliant white, she used metallic gold paint to paint the leaves.

This wall now had the look she dreamed of and adds such beauty to the room.

Thank you Jeanne! We love it!

Wendy Beeker loved the idea of a large tree on her walls, but she wanted a massive trunk and lots of branches!

She created the trunk on her own, using joint compound and paint, which was easy and fun. She made it rough and rugged and awesome.

But creating all those leaves would have been a real chore, so she chose to use just the branch from our Raised Plaster Aspen Tree Stencil Set.

Once the branches were in place, she painted every leaf with metallic gold paint. Now that tree shines with glory!

Great job Wendy!

Carol Herrman, who has worked with Artworks of Spokane (a very popular and successful faux finish/decorating company) in Washington State, is a very talented artist!

Carol used our Raised Plaster Aspen Tree Stencil Set to create a trio of 18″ x 24″ canvases to use as wall art. Her plan is to frame them in silver textured frames. I can just imagine how they will look on a wall!

The color striations and texture of the backgrounds really give those trees an excellent base and the colors are soft and soothing, perfect for any home!

I often use my own walls to showcase my stencil designs. Besides, I like to change things up on a regular basis and that’s FUN!

I had just had a great wood stove put in along the long wall in my living room. That wall just screamed for something…..anything! But what would go best with a wood stove? Aspen trees! And what did I use? Our Raised Plaster Aspen Tree Stencil.

I began by using both the large and small trunk stencils. Now, we all know you can’t repeat a stencil while the plaster is still wet, so you either wait (impatiently tapping your toes), or you do the “skip” method. Do the first repeat, skip the second, do the third and so on. Once they are all dry, simply fill in the repeats all at the same time!

On dry portions of the trunk, you can also start adding side branches.

I love taking some of the trunks right up to the ceiling so that they appear to “disappear” right behind the ceiling level.

As you begin to add leafy branches (attached to the side branches), the trees really start to take shape.

Adding paint colors right to the joint compound makes coloring your leaves super easy! No hand painting required!

I loved this wall right up until I bought new furniture. Now the wall color was too orange. But that was easy to change. Wall paint, a paint brush and a few hours later and the background was gray! Tah Dah!

Kass Wilson is a highly respected and much sought after Professional Faux Finish Artist and Kass has used our stencils in the homes of some of her most precious clients.

When one client presented her with giving their kitchen island an exciting decorative finish, Kass knew just what she wanted to do. And considering the lovely wood cabinets, the perfect design came to mind.

She used our Raised Plaster Aspen Tree stencil to add a bit of rustic elegance to the piece and to tie in with all the lovely wood in the room.

Using the trunk stencil repeated from the base to the top, the idea of a birch “forest” emerged. Using both the large and small trunks, she was able to create real depth in the design.

Background leaves were “painted” where more forward trees were “plastered” to create the detail she was after. The entire area was glazed using a copper tone glaze.

What a lovely idea! And how creative! I designed the stencil set but even I never thought of using a full sized Aspen Tree Stencil on a piece of furniture. Sheer brilliance! But of course, what else could we expect of Kass Wilson?
