Having some fun in my art journal last night! For the background I used a Stencil Girl stencil that has different sorts of cars, buses and train representations. I stenciled it in different colors with the stencil rotated various ways. I printed an old map of Houston off from the internet and applied it in various places. The city view stencil is from the Crafter's Workshop. After the paint dried I went back in with a white glaze pen. I used another Stencil Girl stencil in the background that looks like dots and dashes. I like the graphic feel of the car images in the background. If you don't look closely, I think you could miss the fact that the images are of cars, etc. I'm glad you stopped by my blog! Thanks!
Love your journal page! The stencil girl stencils are so cool!
ReplyDeletefantastic colors and layers! love the overall results...you are right, the cars really do become abstract when used in the background.
