Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing my new project as 

Design Team member for 13arts ~ 

a mixed media canvas as inspiration 

for the June Mood Board Challenge 

using paper and elements from the 

HOME SWEET HOME collection.

I prepared the background by adhering 

paper from the collection to my canvas 

and then covering it with a generous layer 

of gel medium.

I then applied sticky glue randomly to 

the paper using a paintbrush.  Once the 

glue had dried and was sticky, I applied 

metallic flakes to the it, allowing it to 

set before brushing off the excess flakes.

I combined texture powder with white gesso, 

mixing it thoroughly before applying it 

along the edges of my canvas with a spatula, 

sometimes over some of the metallic flakes.  

I also stenciled along the edges of the product, 

allowing it to dry completely to 

expose the cracks. 

Once everything was dry, I diluted 

Garnet Color Glow with water and 

applied it onto my canvas, around my 

main composition, spraying with water 

to allow the colour to more.

I painted resin pieces with brown paint 

as well as Garnet Color Glow combined with 

liquid acrylic medium and then dry brushing 

with white gesso once all product was dry.

I then also applied metallic flakes 

to the resin pieces using sticky glue.

I hope that this project has inspired you to

create your own for the June challenge.
