'Always and Forever'- Mixed media canvas for 2Crafty chipboard

 Hello all!

My second post for today :)

 Here is a canvas I made with one of my favourite colour combos..Pink and Gold. I love how this turned out. The photos aren't doing justice to the actual creation.

 But this is the best I could manage! 

Some close-ups

I used old cardboard box under the heart frame with flowers chipboard. Lots of colour  and some stamping and stencilling on the Heart swirl chipboard piece.

You will love the Heart swirl chipboard frame piece in the background. It is an  11 inch frame which will last you long if you want to use it in pieces as I did.  This one instantly lifted my project. 

I heat embossed the heart frame with flowers and heart loopy frame chipboard  piece with gold embossing powder. In some areas I overheated it to make the  embossing paste bubble up for more textures.

Hope you like the canvas Have a great day!

Mixed media canvas with an easy background technique.

Hello everyone!
 Today I have a new mixed media canvas to share .

I also have a pictorial tutorial for this so sit back and enjoy!

Here is the canvas

This canvas is all about NATURE

I am always inspired by all the greenery all around me.  Inspiration from nature is one of the most evident part of all my creations. I love to include greens in most of my creations. With this canvas i wanted to use just these two colours- GREEN and BROWN. I love how this came out. Really earthy and beautiful!

PHOTO TUTORIAL 

Step 1-

Adhere some Thickers onto your canvas and then give a generous coat of  Prima White heavy gesso all over it. 

These are self adhesive thickers but I advise you to use the Prima soft gloss gel to adhere them to the canvas at we will be using liquid media.

Step 2-

Spray the Lindys stamp gang Rusty lantern lime starburst spray  and Luscious lime flat fabio  in the desired quantity. I gave it just 2 coats at this stage.

Step 3-

Spray the Lindys stamp gang Cocoa Bean Copper starburst spray only near the Thickers.

 Switch better shades of browns for more depth.

After this dry the canvas perfectly. 

Step 4-

Keep on adding the greens. Its even better if you have a few shades of greens . 

You can use the Little Lindys Greens for this. This will add depth to you creation.

Step 5-

Start embellishing. Using papers, flowers, buds and  pollens. 

Adhere the embellishments using the Prima soft gloss gel

Step 6-

Add some more interest to this arrangement with cheese cloth,laces etc to give that rustic nature feel. Do not be very precise and clean in the arrangement as it will take away from the nature kind of look we are aiming. 

Step 7-

Add some Prima art ingredient Mica flakes- Henna and Diamond dust

Finish off with white gesso and black gesso splatters.

Hope you like it!

'Wonder'- Mixed media canvas for 2Crafty chipboard.

Hello everyone! A mixed media canvas again.:) This is my inspiration project for 2Crafty Chipboard. They have the most gorgeous chippies out there which you must try!

Nature is my greatest inspiration in life. While I was growing up, me and my family loved making frequent trips to our countryside house. I guess it was then that I grew close to nature. I dedicated this canvas to my love for nature.

Some close-ups

I made use of these wonderful chippies. Usually we would slip chippies like these behind flower clusters( which of course looks beautiful too! ) but the moment I saw these I just could think of anything else other than using them the way I did here. Aren't they just amazing??

I heat embossed my chippies in different tones of greens and then stamped  randomly on them to match with the background of the canvas.

Hope you like my creation . Have a great day!
