Brand-New "Boxed Vines" Stencil -- More Playful Ideas




Above:  my brand-new 9"X12" stencil Boxed Vines, available here:

 
More artwork created with this stencil:
 
Above:  a collaged greeting card cover, created with a Gelli Plate print from this new stencil.  Note:  The purple vine at center stage is freehand-cut.  It complements the stencil design but is not made from the stencil itself. 
 
Above:  the envelope made to match this greeting card.  I've collaged the scrap onto the far left side to leave room for both the return address and the outgoing address.

 
Above:  another greeting card cover made in the same way -- using a piece of Gelli Plate print and a (green) freehand-cut complementary embellishment.  Note:  The large white vine-shape (part of the Gelli Plate print) was also created with a freehand-cut vine.  The light aqua print -- showing vines and a partial border -- is the part that was made using this new stencil.
Above:  a collaged greeting card cover.  The dark orange background was created with a Gelli Plate and the brand-new stencil Boxed Vines.  The green vine in the foreground was freehand-cut, in the same style as the stencil, but was not made from the stencil itself.
Above:  the ivory vines-and-border pattern was created with this new stencil -- a Gelli Plate print.  The overlay of two white "ghost" vines was also printed on a Gelli Plate, using freehand-cut vines that resemble the stencil.
 
Above:  This is the Gelli Plate print that was later cut up for making greeting card collages, as shown earlier in this post.  The pale aqua part was created with the new stencil Boxed Vines.  The two white vines, an over-print created with the same Gelli Plate, were made from freehand-cut vines, not from the stencil itself.

This new stencil and many others are available here:
