tag- stencil art

Big City... back from California.
where the sun never seems to rest. 
the heat was on while I was in Los Angeles, 85 degrees at 10pm. 
people awake and places still open past midnight...
to remember my travels, I decided to create a little art memorabilia!
from card-stock I cut out a city stencil, used acrylic inks, 
and a charcoal pencil (white) for the shading. 
oh my, those big city lights! 
honestly, I am a "city girl" at heart.

confetti

arrows. 
Here is super fun way, to combine the elements we simply love to create and collect
into these artful tags.
Come along with me... I will show you how.   
arrows can be punched/precut from a stencil using painted papers, collage, or paper scraps from previous projects.  
steps to achieve this tag: 
first coat applied gesso ( black)
applied acrylic paint (white) then sanded a little to bring out the black background.
stencil in circle shapes using waterproof pen/marker.
paint stencil (question mark) charcoal edges.
glued confetti arrows using a UHU stick. 
steps to achieve tag two:
follows the same process as listed above, with a few added techniques and mediums. 
gesso, white paint/sand - add a third layer using a neutral color. 
stencil (circles) applied using acrylic paint. 
collage image source - HERE
- altered image adding colored pencils/watercolor 
(glue image using a matte medium) 
- applied a (black) trim (pitt pen) around arrow and distressed the edges (distress ink) 
washi tape added. 
there you have it... have fun with your collection of confetti. 
enjoy
