NEW NEW NEW Continues ... Palm Fronds Silhouette stencils in 2 Sizes ... and a Mary Beth Shaw Mini-Video

Today's post starts with the quick, easy technique of spraying paints thru stencils.  Here I'm using my 4"X4" stencil Palm Fronds Silhouette Mini but I could have substituted my 6"X6" Palm Fronds Silhouette Small.

First, the results of my original spray:

The next three photos show the results of a Photoshop experiment, combining the image above with backgrounds other than plain white. 

 

 

Using color and special effects Photoshop filters can be addicting, but the yield is a wide range of paper print-outs ready to be added to art journal pages, greeting card covers and collages. 

This post features only 2 of 6 just-released stencils continuing my line of botanical designs.  The other stencils are individually featured -- with other art-making techniques -- in my "NEW NEW NEW" cluster of posts.  To find the other posts in this cluster, click "Older Posts" at the bottom of this webpage.
