Mixed Media Canvas - Make a Wish

Hello guys

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.

1. White Crackle Paste - Finnabair

"Memories which last Forever" - Mixed Media Canvas | Tutorial

Hello everyone
I have a new mixed media canvas for you all today which is inspired by my childhood memories. This canvas is my DT inspiration project for ItsyBitsy and you can visit the blog by clicking HERE. You can see a full list of supplies used along with more pictures there.

As a child, month of May was the time where the schools were shut down and all the books were back in the cupboards. All I did was eat mangoes and play in my garden which was filled with fluttering butterflies and fragrant flowers. So gardens are nostalgia for me..... and I have tried to show that in my canvas.

The alphabet background I used to show that books have now taken a backseat and its time to play with butterflies in my garden and so the flowers are the focal elements on my canvas. I have added a lot of gold elements and empty frames to my canvas as gold for me depicts old or vintage.....and thus I tried to represent "Capturing old memories". The color inspiration of yellow and green comes from the King of Fruits - Alphonso Mangoes. So this canvas for me is my childhood memories of May vacation. Here are a few closeups of my canvas.

 

I have spoken enough....its time for the tutorial. I have a video tutorial for you all from the start to end....which I have sped up a little. I encourage you all to watch it if you want to know how I made this canvas.

I am putting my project up for the following blog challenges:-

1. More Than words - May Challenge- Memories and Frame. 
2. More mixed Media Challenge - Anything goes optional Pink
3. Scrap and Craft - May Challenge - Use 3 chipboards - I have used 1 background chipboard piece, 1 chevron chipboard piece, 2 corner chipboard pieces and a chipboard sentiment.
