Happiness blooms from within

 

Hi everyone.

I am sharing a canvas with you all today created as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee

using the beautiful new Azure collection, Penelope Dee's 50th collection since they started 5 years ago.

I prepared the background of this canvas by adhering paper to it, coating it with 

clear gesso and then first stenciling with expanding mousse and then, once that was dry,

applying blue crackle paste onto the corners and around the edges, 

allowing it to dry completely to bring out the cracks.

I then added diluted a sand coloured paint with a paintbrush onto the paste, 

allowing it to seep into the cracks of the paste.

Chipboard elements were painted with a periwinkle blue paint, making sure 

that the paint coated the embossed areas of the chipboard and then removed the 

excess paint with a wet wipe.

I then lightly painted the open areas with sand paint.

The resin pieces were coated with brown alcohol inks and then lightly rubbed 

with brass wax to bring out the details.

I hope that you like this canvas.

Until next time!

💙
