Hi Stencil Lovers! I'm Roben Marie Smith and am so happy to be a guest blogger for StencilGirl this month!
In this video, I’m sharing how I create easy, expressive collage papers using stencil masks—no gelli plate needed. I’ll walk you through how I use stencil masks to build layered surfaces while keeping the process loose, playful, and approachable from start to finish. This quick + intuitive approach is perfect for art journaling, mixed media, and building a stash of colorful papers.
I’m using stencil masks from StencilGirl Products along with acrylic paint and a brayer, alcohol inks, pencils, and Infusions Powders to layer color, texture, and mark-making in a relaxed way that encourages exploration rather than perfection. You’ll see how staying flexible and working intuitively allows the layers to evolve naturally as the paper develops.
If you’ve been curious about stencil masks or you’re looking for a simple alternative to gelli plate printing, this technique is a fun way to experiment without pressure—no rules, no overthinking, just creative play.
