Mixed media canvas 'Lovely'

 

Hi everybody,

 

I was asked to be guest designer at Mixed Media & Art this month, and I created a mixed media canvas, based on the moodboard, with lovely products from The Dusty Attic, Lindy's Stamp Gang, Accent Scrapbooking and Prima Marketing/Finnabair.

 

 

This canvas was a gift for my aunt.

She lives next door, and her appletree has such gorgeous blossoms.

Some of the branches hang halfway in my garden, and I took some pictures of them two weeks ago.

The pictures inspired me to make this canvas.

 

 

First I used white gesso with the gorgeous new rose stencil from Dusty Attic on the canvas.

I painted my chipboard pieces with white gesso too.

Next I builded up my canvas with lace, chipboard, art stones and metal flowers.

 

I covered the whole canvas with clear gesso.

When it was dry I added Lindy's Rusty Lantern Lime and Cotton Candy Pink sprays with a brush, and added water with a spray bottle to let the ink spread over the canvas. I dried with the heattool.

 

Next I added a layer of white gesso, only dabbering it with a distress ink tool, not covering the whole canvas. I added some Dusty in Colour Pesto and Pink too here and there.

 

I started adding more lace, wire, flowers, the pictures and some flairs.

As a last step I glued down my title and some rhinestones.
