I don't get over to Michelle Ward's Green Pepper Press Street Team Crusades often enough. The crusades are always fun and instructive.
This month's Crusade challenged us to create a background using two colors, allowing them to blend, and then creating a focal image with a stamp using the same colors, allowing the image to "drop out" into the background in places.
I ended up using three colors and an alphabet stencil instead of a stamp.
The issue with this was that I couldn't decide which color I wanted to have "disappear". So I started stenciling over my stenciling using all three of the colors (hot pink, orange and yellow), which gave me this effect of a printer with the registration off a bit. OK, off a lot.....and I love the result. (Honest, I did not futz in Photoshop with the saturation levels in this scan.)
Also, please feel free to visit the main page of my blog for my daily art collages and a blog giveaway on the creation of my 500th daily collage. 500!!! I'll post the 500th collage some time on October 1st, 2011. If you leave a comment on the 500th collage post, you'll be entered to win a pendant of your choice from my Etsy shop.

Kim, this is SO cool, I love the neon colors and the out-of-register effect is wonderful!
I love how this turned out! The colors are awesome and not overwhelming. Love the staggered look of the stencils as well!
the alphabeth stencils give a great result and your colors really jump off the screen.
Love the use of the stencil - I think you've got this technique nailed!
Your vibrant colors are so much fun and the fade-a-way effect of the stencil worked perfectly!
what a cool result! I totally want to try this now!
Wow! That's all - just WOW!
