Hello again creative friends.
I am sharing my new project as
Design Team member for 13arts with
you all today ~ a Summery, mixed media
canvas using the beautiful Sweet
Summertime collection.
I prepared my canvas my painting
the outer edges, first with gesso and then
with a combination of liquid acrylic medium
and Carnelian Color Glow.
I then cut and adhered paper from the
collection onto the canvas. Once adhered,
I gave the paper a good coating of clear
gesso to protect the paper from
other mediums.
Once dry, I stenciled onto the paper
with the two different stencils together
with modeling paste.
Once the paste was dry, I diluted Blue
Diamond Color Glow with water
and splashed this across the stenciling
and onto the paper where my main
composition would be.
I painted my chipboard piece with a
combination of liquid acrylic medium
and Carnelian Color Glow.
Once dry, I painted it lightly with a
combination of the acrylic medium
and Blue Diamond Color Glow so that
the Carnelian colour would
still be visible.
I raised my photograph onto my canvas,
framing it with flowers and
die-cuts from the collection.
Splashes of blue as well as
white ink completed my layout.
I hope that this has inspired you.
