February Art Delights with StencilClub Voices


Layers of paint stenciled on tags, cards, and a canvas is what StencilClub Voices Kim Kendell, Eva Gronroos, and I Carol Baxter made with the Folk Embroidery Set that Cathy Nichols designed for this month.



Hi, my name is Kim Kendell and I am from the southern part of New South Wales in Australia.

We have just recently experienced one of our worst fire periods on record with a massive blaze starting in our area and covering approximately 450,000 hectares of land. So when I sat down to create I decided to create with green and color after seeing so much black around us.

I have used this month's stencils to create an A5-sized tag that is about self-belief. 



I have managed to use elements of all 3 stencils there are some awesome patterns within each stencil. I have used Paper Artsy paints they are my favorites.



(The other stencil you see in the tag is the small one from the Stay in Your Magic Oct 2018 StencilClub set by Nancy Curry.)





Hi, I am Eva Gronroos. 

This is an AMAZING set. So versatile! I decided to use some old supplies my inks, and alcohol markers. I also did a lot of masking. So much fun! 

The 6-inch one has a little circular piece that I found was wonderful to use. 



                              (The small stencil from Grandmother's Kitchen February '18 club set by Kristie Taylor 
                                                               is in the background of  the bottom card.)

Carol Baxter here. Hello!

Do your stencils whisper to you in your dreams? "Table runner," is what this set is saying ever louder. To which I reply, "Yes. Eventually." 
     "What about the back of a jacket?"
          "Yes, that would be pretty too."
     "A quilt?"
          "For someone else to do, certainly."

This little project has quieted the whispers for the moment. Ha!

A sweet StencilClub Secret Santa sent me ephemera that I was determined to use and a phone call with one of my dearest-lives-too-far-away friends spurred this piece with the small stencil from the fabulous club set Cathy designed. Here it is in simple layers.

A darling bunny contemplating life for a moment behind a flower is featured on the mini 4" x4" stencil. A line of sweet stitches and pops of patterns complete this stencil.

The small 6" x 6" features a flower that would be perfect to embroider with paint or thread or both!

A perfect for spring or summer folk motif graces the large 9" x 12" stencil where flowers, hummingbirds, and sunshine are crowned by a butterfly.
