[Carol@Swallowcliffs]

The challenge is to do a collage with stenciled elements. Any other layer and element is welcome!

Oooooo goody another challenge and I have plenty of time to do it. Now will I make a stencil or go and buy one? The challenge begins.

Sorry for the bad picture but here is my stencil collage. One of them. I had fun playing with the stencil I bought at the shop. Great idea Carol. I am off to get packing tape for the transfer challenge.

So beautiful, Susan. the brush work is almost like light playing across the page. Love the stencil and I'd kill for your handwriting!

[Susan Hosken]

Lin, You have no idea how bad my handwriting gets. I learnt it from a Russian and it used to be really neat but now I write so fast it is quite illegible.
Thanks for the positive comments on my collage.

Susan, I love the stencil you found. Curly Q's are so enticing. Is the purply swipes paint brush marks? I like the way they tie all the elements together. Very nice!

[Susan Hosken]

Carol, The stencil I got was of a huge heart surrounding a heart. I decided to use only part of the stencil. The purply swipes are paint...yes. Thanks for your praise. It spurs me on.

lovely, susan, it's just right, I find the thought of Japan fascinating too.

[Carol Clark]

All I can say is...WOW. Absolutely beautiful work...

[Carol@Swallowcliffs]

Thanks Susan, I am waiting for your results!
And Carol, thanks for your comment!

[Lin Neiswender]

Beautiful, Carol. Colors are so lovely. Did you cut the stencils yourself?

[Carol@Swallowcliffs]

Lin, the naked lady I cut out from heavy magazine paper. The star and hearts are cardboard, some of the graffitti background effect comes from a paper doily, and then I used a plastic commercial stencil for the flower behind the saying. Many ways to stencil!

[Lin Neiswender]

Kewl Carol! I bought a bunch of letter stencils for a collage background class so I can use those, plus I have some miscellaneous stencils in a box someplace.
