Dream Deep - Mixed Media Canvas

Hey guys
I have a mixed media canvas to show you all today. This one is my first ever canvas I made on commission....I have clients purchase my ready artwork but I never had one order a canvas custom made to suit her requirement...I am super happy about this. I have tried my best to make this canvas and it took me 2 days to make it.
 I have used a 8" x 10" canvas from Itsybitsy. I started with priming my surface with gesso and then randomly applied a mixture of black gesso and texture sand on the canvas to give it this grainy texture. While it was wet I added my circle background chipboard shape in various places using gel medium and dried it all.
Once dry, I started layering all my embellishments with gel medium and them dried it all.After a coat fo gesso, I started the coloring process using the magicals on the background and chalk paints on the embellishments. When I was happy with the colors, I highlighted it all with Art Alchemy waxes. To add more interest, I sprinkled some tiny gold stars on the canvas and finished it all with my sentiment which I printed on my printer.....super fun process.
I have few pics to show you my canvas. Since I got this framed before I took the closeup pictures and the frame cannot be removed....I do not have any close up pictures which is really disappointing. Now when I try to take pictures...its glaring up which is truly annoying. So here are a few pics I could take before I sent it for framing.... next time I will surely click all my pics before I send it out...Lesson learnt!
Here is a small clip showing you my canvas....
I have used Mixed media Mediums like heavy matt gel and black gesso, Canvas, Texture sand, chalk paints, Metal and chipboard embellishments from Little Birdie Crafts. I used art alchemy waxes and few metal embellishments from Prima Marketing and a few magical shakers from Lindy's Stamp gang.....so much love went into making this canvas. it was my first time with magicals and I truly love them.....these shakers are amazing.

I am putting my canvas up at the following blog challenges:
