Remember the Summer

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing my new project as Design Team

member for 13arts with you all today ~ 

a soft, pastel mixed media canvas

using the gorgeous Sweet Summertime

collection.

I prepared the background of my canvas

by measuring strips with tape to

create the stripes.

I then mixed modelling paste and

Carnelian Color Glow together and

applied this paste between the stripes

with a spatula, allowing it to dry

completely.

I then combined white gesso with texture

powder and stenciled lightly onto the corners

of my canvas as well as spreading the 

paste around the edges of my canvas,

using a spatula, and leaving it to 

dry completely for the cracks to form.

I tore paper from the collection which I 

secured across the centre of my canvas and 

then added ephemera and other embellishments

to frame my photograph.

Once I had added everything to my canvas,

I added diluted Blue Diamond Color Glow 

onto the white stripes above and below 

my composition, spraying it with water 

to allow the colour to move.

Once dry, I painted liquid glue and gold 

glitter onto the white stripes as well.

I hope that this project has inspired you.
