I love creating unique art using shipping tags as a substrate. Stencils, paint and a few mark making tools are all you need to fashion a simple and beautiful note in just a few min utes. For an extra pop of fun, add some colorful ribbons and trims. And of course I have to add stitching to almost everything I do! Stitched & Stenciled Tag Art Project Directions: Spread gesso over the entire surface of a shipping tag. Let dry partially, and then apply spray inks, (I used Bubblegum, Fuchsia and Calypso). Use a brush to move and mix the inks around with the gesso. Apply acrylic paint (I used Dina’s Night & Turquoise) through the Mix & Match Scalloped Edges and Frazzled & Ruffled Feather stencils, using your finger and plenty of paint to get a raised edge. Let dry or speed up process with a heat tool. Layer white and yellow acrylic paint onto the tag, adding color and making marks. Outline your stencil shapes with a pencil and China Marker. Journal with a white gel pen. Add stitching around the edges and shapes. Slip knot colorful ribbon to the top of your tag, and sew on some colorful trim to the bottom. Show more
