Hi, everyone! I'm excited to be sharing another new painting that I created with my NEW Set Sail stencil series from StencilGirl® Products!

This painting is entitled "Set Sail." It layers collage, ink, and acrylics on a 6" x 6" stretched canvas. I gave the sailboat dimension by using my new Sailboat stencil with two layers of Candy Turquoise Embossing Powder from Emerald Creek. I added the phrase set sail with my Let's Go 1 stencil from StencilGirl® Products, too.

Hi, everyone! I'm excited to be sharing three new mixed-media pieces on watercolor paper that I created with my NEW Set Sail stencil series from StencilGirl® Products!!

My first painting entitled "Sea" layers collage, ink, and fabric on gessoed watercolor paper. I created the waves using the top edge/mask of my new Water's Edge stencil with Turquoise Sparkle Embossing Powder from Emerald Creek. I added the word sea with my Let's Go 1 stencil from StencilGirl® Products, too.

It was such fun incorporating techniques I learned in Roxanne Evans Stout's workshop Wildland Creatures, Exploring Stenciling​ with my new stencil designs!

These three new pieces are available in my Etsy shop, too.

This new Set Sail stencil series was inspired by my love of water, waves, and time spent traveling on the oceans and seas. I’ve been having such fun incorporating these into my new body of paintings on stretched canvases and gessoed watercolor paper collaged with 1920s ledger paper from a Sea Captain documenting his ship's travels, bits of black and white maps, vintage papers, ephemera, and postcards, too. I continually reached for my blue StazOn inks and Emerald Creek embossing powders during the process of creating these artworks. The Set Sail stencil series includes 5 designs: Navigate, Sailboat, Mini Waves, Water’s Edge, and Making Waves.

Embark on a journey in your art with this Sailboat stencil!
​At 6” x 6” it's perfect for your voyage in art journaling, mixed media projects, and more!

​Making Waves

Inspired by my love of water, waves, and time spent traveling on the oceans and seas, the abstract design of the waves created in this 9” x 12” stencil makes it great for adding rhythm, movement and patterns to your art!

​Water's Edge

This 6" x 6" stencil incorporates a mask of waves built into the top edge of the design
and a stencil of waves cut from the bottom edge, and I've been having such fun with it!

​Navigate

Navigate measures 4" x 4" and was inspired by the shape of a ship’s wheel
​and time spent traveling on the oceans and seas.

​Mini Waves

This mini 4” x 4” stencil is a great for size for adding rhythm, movement and patterns to
​your art journal pages, mixed media projects, card-making, tag art and more! 

Excited I can finally share a sneak peek of how I've been spending my 2019...
