Guest Designer Shelley R. Chavis: Documented Life Project 2016 unPlanner!

Hey Everybody!
I am SUPER thrilled & humbled to be guest designing for StencilGirl Products.
Today, I am sharing my mixed media process for my Week #12 weekly calendar layout for my Documented Life Project 2016 "unPlanner". I will be incorporating three of my favorite StencilGirl Products stencils in my layering process:
Modern Buds (by Rae Missigman)
 Alrightly, let's get started:
1. Started with my "inky" Kate Spade calendar pages for Week #12.

2. Sprayed Dylusions Ink Spray on Traci's Deconstructed Floral Bouquet stencil in a separate grid lined paper pad.

3. Placed my calendar pages on top of the inky stencil to get a negative print.

4. Painted Carolyn's Scribble Scratch Handwriting stencil with black acrylic ink and applied imperfect prints around the border of my calendar pages for texture & interest.

5. Added acrylic paint to my inking palette.

6. Blended the acrylic paint with my brayer.

7. Took a paint print from my inking palette.

8. Sprayed Carolyn's Scribble Scratch Handwriting stencil with black Dylusions ink & added the negative to my background for a graffiti vibe.

9. Painted Rae's Buds stencil with fluorescent pink paint. Printed it on ledger paper.

10. Created collage pieces from Rae's Modern Buds & Traci's Deconstructed Flowers by fussy cutting the stencil shapes with scissors. Glued the collage elements to my background with Uhu glue. 

11. Embellished my background with my DIY collage bits, stickers, stamping & black stitching.

Here are all three StencilGirl stencils "in action" in my final Documented Life Project 2016 Week #12 "unPlanner" layout:
