Canvas for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog


Hi everyone, Today I am up on the Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge blog with a canvas.

This months challenge is all about dies and stamping and is sponsored by Judy... There is in this package Inspire die - buildings, Local Rubber King Flower stamp and die, Kimmie stamp, Donna Downy stamp and a Hero Arts Stamp with embossing folder.


Here is my canvas.  I have used a Tim Holtz butterfly die cut and a couple of Paper Artsy stamps.




I began by using gesso to adhere lace to the canvas to create some texture.


While that was drying I cut three of the butterflies out.  Once in white cardboard, and two out of material.  I coloured the material ones with Dylusions Paint - Black Marble and Lemon Zest.




I cut the black one down a little and the yellow one a little more and then using Finnabair Sculpture Medium worked the material to a form I was happy with.  



I stamped randomly around the layout with Paper Artsty stamps - Backgrounds 5 and  E7504.





Once everything was dry I put the canvas together.





A metal centre piece on the butterfly filled with Micro Beads.


Micro beads giving the effect of the direction the butterfly has flown.


The background was painted with Ecoline Brush Pens - Lemon Yellow and Gelato - Butterscotch.
The butterfly and bird were coloured with Finnabair Wax


Golden Paint - Bone Black around the butterflies to form shadows and depth


A final touch with Distress Glitter Dust and Finnabair Glitter Gold.

Thanks for stopping by and dont forget to have a go at the challenge this month.  You can find all the details here
