Welcome back to my blog....today I have a mixed media canvas to share with you all. I made this canvas for my sister and brother-in-law for their wedding anniversary..which is today. I wasn't able to find anything to gift her....so I thought to make this canvas for her...she always appreciates and motivates me and I thought hi canvas s would make a perfect gift for her.I did use a lot of art stones and paper clay pieces I made using moulds from Redesign by Prima...they have some amazing designs and I just use them like everywhere. To build my background, I did use White crackle paste in random areas and sprinkled some art stones using Gel medium....once everything was dry...I added my Lindy's squirts......oh those squirts are filled with magical shine...I am so happy that I have them all. I dried everything and then, layered all my pieces and pattern papers. I am really excited with the way this has turned out to be.....I was a very relaxing process and I am hopeful to make a tutroial for the next one I make....fingers crossed
So...I had this beautiful image of this girl who is blowing dandelions and I was inspired by that to make this canvas. I sorted out the primary colors to use and then everything just fell into place. I made my own pattern paper which was really fun and something I rarely do....a lot of stamping...stenciling and color sprays gave me this beautiful paper which actually completes my canvas.
