2 Collages Developed with May's StencilGirl StencilClub Set of the Month

Unique Stencil 3-Piece Set available thru StencilGirl StencilClub -- Nowhere Else! 

The collage shown below, created on stretched canvas, has just now been accepted into a juried art show at a local art gallery ...

My first step was to layer the entire canvas surface with prints using all three stencils from this month's set.

After developing those layers with multiple applications of acrylic paints, I added the collage papers that appear in the upper left quarter of the artwork.  

The collage papers came from old print-outs of similar designs which, like the 3-piece May Stencil of the Month set, were originally inspired by a script alphabet.

Below is a "sister" mixed-media collage, also on stretched canvas --





The above artwork is three-dimensional.  (In a future post, I'll be detailing how I create 3D elements like this orange-and-aqua oval -- an oval that's easier to see when you click on the above image to enlarge it.)

My May 2019 StencilGirl Stencil of the Month set was used in developing the layered background of this mixed-media collage.  Two of these background details are shown in close-ups are below:







Besides the May StencilGirl Stencil Club stencil set,  today's second
artwork incorporates papers printed with my 9" x 12" stencil Garden Montage --





-- as well as another paper, printed with my 6" x 6" Trivet A Stencil --
