Collages Developed with Stencil-Printed Papers

Today's opener, above, incorporates three cut-outs from an ivory-and-black print made with my 6" x 6" stencil/mask Sprigs, which looks like this --

Above is a greeting card cover created with collage on the left and across the bottom.  On the right, my 6" x 6" mask Mikki's Flowers was placed on paper, secured with masking tape, and sprayed with spray watercolors.  In its entirety, my 6" x 6" mask Mikki's Flowers looks like this ...

Below:  another greeting card cover.  This one's a 3-part collage -- hand-dyed lace paper (it was originally white); a cut-out butterfly; and part of a print made with my 6"x 6" stencil/mask Sassy Spray. 

And the five photos below show collage-built covers on greeting cards; most of the papers used were printed with my 9" x 12" stencil/mask Garden Montage --

The mini-heart on this collage was made with a hole punch, not a stencil.  On the upper far left, lower far right and upper right sides of this collage I've used prints made with my 6" x 6" stencil Swatton Links.

The lower horizontal bar and the right-side vertical bar were printed with my 6" x 6" stencil/mask Sassy Spray.

The lower horizontal bar and the right-side vertical bar were printed with my  9" x 12" stencil/mask Prayer Flags.

I hope some of these art samples launch ideas for you to play with your own stencil-prints in making collages.  Think art-journals, hand-decorated gift-bags, refrigerator magnets and ... you take it from there!
