USA Patriotic Serendipity Paper
Start by printing your phrase on the paper. Print it vertically and horizontally. Try not to overlap the words. Here I printed on two types of paper. The one on the right is a smooth bright white paper. The one on the left is a textured white paper. On the textured paper I out the printer on "fast-draft". This made the print softer and gave it a distressed look.

Next get out your chalk and Make your own stencils. First I used the letters and chalked around the edge of them. Next I did the reverse. Remember to vary the color intensity and make the objects go off the edge of the page.


The next step is to add flags to the page.
Fill in empty spaces with smaller elements such as punches. Here I used a star punch. I used red and blue mulberry paper for the stars.
