Hey everyone. How was your weekend? Mine was nothing short of eventful to say the least. Seriously feels like I am chasing my tail every single week. Does it ever end? LOL! I have to laugh..because if I think about things too long I will start crying so I better not go there. Anyway..things could be far more worse so ..let's just enjoy that we are alive yet one more day right? Like the song playing on my blog right now says, its a wonderful world...It is !
So I made this small canvas a little while back for Imaginarium Designs. It was shown on the blog yesterday and I can now show it to you here.
This canvas is only small...about 10cm x 10cm and it is a gift for someone who is turning 18 in a couple of months.
I simply applied gesso in random places on the base of the canvas.
I then used a Prima mask and brown paint to create the floral pattern on the left hand side corner, while also applying gauge in random places in the center.
I had a scrap piece of paper from a Prima collection which I punched with a border punch and used it as the first layer.
Tips for using the chipboard: apply gesso, then dab light coloured ink and with your fingers run a darker paint in random places on the chipboard. Finish with a coat of Glossy Accents.
Once the chipboard was dry, I then layered it together with my flowers on top of each other finishing with the title. To adhere the title to the flower I simply used strong glue in the spot that touch the flower and pressed down till for a few minutes.
You can find all the chipboard pieces I used at the Imaginarium Designs website HERE
