Deco Art Decou Page Napkin, Deco Art Media matte varnish
Stencil:  Deco Art Americana Mandala  18 x 18 inch

This wa made on a piec of a cardboard box that was sent to me from US, I kept the the big part of the box to use it in a mixed media project someday, and I thought it was perfect for the Americas challenge.
The Mandala, the eagle and the word freedom are stencils, Lady Liberty is a Stencil too.
The feathers are stamped onto music paper that was painted in the same colors as the mandala.
The text is a rub on. I added some black splatter and black paint on the edges. Finished the piece with a layer of matte varnish

I was playing around with a Deco Art Stencil and this came out

Deco Art Products used:
Deco Art Americana acrylics in : True Red , Snow White, True Blue and Navy Blue
Deco Art Americana Gesso, Stencil American Tribute

I made this in my small Moleskine journal, it has very thin paper so first I glued 2 pages together and next added a layer of gesso.

The Flag of the stencil was exact the right size to fit on the spread and I started stenciling the red using a stencil brush.
Next I adde the blue and made the background around the flag blue too.
The stars are in the stencil and I used white for them, next I painted the white stripes.

The shades were made using a Faber Castel pitt brush pen in black.
