Using Stencils To Make Unique Painted Paper


If you are looking for the Blog Hop featuring Orly Avineri please keep scrolling down after this post.

Sometimes, I love to just take a day and make some background papers to later use in my Art Journal and other projects. That is what I did with Orly's.

I started out by taking deli paper that was 5" x 5" and only 3 colors of paint to see what I could come up with using all 5 of Orly's new stencils from StencilGirl You can see them all  HERE.


I ended up making 9 pieces which looked like this.


I really loved them, but of course, I couldn't stop there! I ripped all the pieces apart and then began glueing them with Matte Medium to a larger piece of deli paper. The patterns in these stencils are incredible!


This was so mindless and FUN!!!! What did I end up with??
 A large piece and 2 smaller pieces of one of a kind paper which I will use in a future Art Journal page or project.



 Thanks for stopping by today!

    Home run Maria! The more I look at your collaged piece to more I see - so much depth and pattern- brilliant to stick to 3 colors too!

    Beautiful Maria! I have so many left over pieces of stenciled/printed papers. I'll have to try this.

    Your collage pieces have a lot of depth and many patterns...must look deeply to notice it all. The yellow and raspberry colors are very enticing to look at.. Blend so well together. Thanks for sharing.
