Cool art


Hi everyone.
I am sharing a 13arts project with you all today using a wooden canvas 
together with 13arts products and papers and elements from the gorgeous new bright and bold 
"Young and Free" collection.


I love the bright, vibrant yellows and reds in this collection and thought that this 
apple canvas would be perfect for these papers.
I adhered paper from the collection to the apple and then gave it a good cover with 
clear gesso.  I then diluted Garnet Color Glow and applied this to my canvas, 
spraying with water to allow the colour to flow.
I then applied red paint around the edges of and onto the canvas with a spatula.
Once the paint was dry, I used the same method with white gesso.


The resin pieces were painted with black gesso and then, once dry, were 
dry brushed with white gesso.


Once I had added all of my elements to the canvas, I combined black gesso with 
gel medium and applied this around the edges and onto the canvas with a spatula.


Here are some close ups of the details ...

I hope that you like this canvas.
Until next time!

Dreamer of Dreams

Hi everyone.  I am sharing a mixed media canvas with you today created as Design Team 
member for 13arts using the stunning new "Mr Handsome" collection.


I wanted to create lots of texture on this canvas so began by combining brown watercolour ink 
with white gesso and texture powder into a thick paste.  Once I had adhered the paper 
to my canvas, I stenciled onto my layout with this thick paste and then applied it around 
the edges of my canvas, using a spatula.



I then mixed Color Glow ink into gel medium and stenciled with this paste as well as 
applied some of it around the edges to break the brown paste.
I also mixed red bronze shiny powder with gel medium and applied this 
around the edges as well.



I wasn't happy with the colour of the thick paste as it seemed too light on the canvas so I 
diluted brown watercolour ink and painted it onto the paste which absorbed 
the colour beautifully.



I also added the diluted brown ink around my main composition, spraying it with water 
so that the colour would flow.

I hope that you like this canvas.
Until next time!

Explore

 Hi everyone.

I am sharing my latest project as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee with you all today.
I used the beautiful new Way-far-er travel papers as well as the ring bound album to create
a travel album for a trip that will hopefully happen once life returns to "normal" again.


I combined the papers, chipboard and embellishments together to create this album.
The front page and the "Adventure" page were painted with black gesso, were inked 
with Starlite Black ink and then rubbed around the edges with a turquoise wax.
After adding paper to back of this page, I added Glossy Accents into the letters of the 
word "Adventure" and then added gold micro beads into the glue, brushing off the excess 
so that the beads were flush with the chipboard.


Papers were adhered to the chipboard on the back and front of the rest of the pages 
and then cut around the edges with a craft knife.


Starlite Black ink was added to the chipboard with a dauber so that the ink would penetrate 
the cut out areas and then lightly rubbed off the rest so that the chipboard would still 
have a natural look.


Here are a few more details of the album ....




I hope that you like this album.
Until next time!
