City lights

 

 Hello creative friends.
It's a new month and so it means it is 

time for a new 13arts Mood Board Challenge.

I am sharing a new project as Design Team member
for 13arts created as inspiration for the
February Mood Board Challenge.

The 13arts challenge is a fun way to
explore different colours/themes that you
might not always choose and so give you
an opportunity to venture out of your
comfort zone.  Be inspired by this
new mood board, create a project of
your own and then submit it onto
INSTAGRAM only using 

the #13artsFeb23.  There is an 

amazing prize for the winner who will 

also be invited to Guest Design 

for 13arts.

I created this canvas using the stunning

new CITY LIGHTS collection 

as well as 13arts amazing mixed 

media products and mediums.

I prepared the background of my 

canvas by mixing the different Color 

Glows (individually) with liquid acrylic 

medium and then painting them onto my 

canvas in an ombre effect, pink at the bottom, 

purple in the centre and then the blue at the top.

I then stamped onto my canvas

with embossing ink, adding white 

embossing powder to the ink and then 

heating it with my heat gun.

I then stenciled onto my canvas with 

modeling paste and, once dry, added 

modeling paste mixed with texture paste

 around the edges with a spatula.  I left 

this to dry completely to allow the 

cracks to form.

I painted the chipboard buildings with the 

same Color Glows.

I applied sticky glue to the chipboard, 

allowing it to dry slightly, and then 

applied a sheet of blue foil to the glue so that,

once removed, would leave foil on parts 

of the chipboard.

I hope that this project has inspired you to 

join this 13arts challenge.
