Canvasing 'Happy Thoughts'

Hi there and Welcome!

Today's post is for the current challenge

of Felt/Cork or Canvas etc over at CAS Mix Up Blog

All the details are Here

You will have seen my first entry using cork.

This time I thought I would play with canvas.

It really is a fun paper and gives a great

texture look to your project.

I started by spritzing some Turquoise Brusho's

onto my canvas then decided to add a bit of texture

with Mont Marte Pearl White Acrylic Paint

then some White DecoArt Crackle Paste - 

I should have added more but was just an experiment.

I left it overnight and was happy with the result so continued

by cutting out 2 Spellbinder Butterflies in canvas.

 Attached them to my background and adhered to white card for stability.

Mixed up a little more of what I used for the background,

covering both cutouts and attached an oval gem.

Added some splatters and finished with my sentiment

from STAMPlorations Bloom Happy in Oxide Salty Ocean.

To blend with my pearly background I chose some

Pearlescent Textured card stock.

Here is a close up of the shimmer/texture - 

My Mix is Canvas, Stamping, Die Cutting, Mixed Media.

Thanks for dropping in today
