Canvas-ing for Random Arts

It's with great pleasure I  am able to show you my

first post for a New Blog I was invited to join.

It's called Random Arts - and local to me.

You can find it Here  The Store is owned and run by

the Very Talented Amanda Mason and our 

First Inspiration Challenge began on the 1st July.

All the details regarding the Challenge are Here

Our Mood Board

I will be showing two project a month and my first one is

what we call a 'free post' where we have a free hand as to

what we make as long as we use products from The Store

I decided to just have a little play with some of the products

here by making a small canvas.

Sorry for the quality of this photo but I took it

on my phone and it is the only one I have.

The stencil is from AB Studio and

Tim Holtz Distress Grit Paste (super stuff)

I then added some colour with Art Alchemy Metallic Paint

then a splash of colour to the background with

Nuvo Shimmer Powder in Storm Cloud and some random text,

laces with a touch of Art Alchemy Wax for colour

 and cheesecloth. Also a few black flowers to the back.

I then got sidetracked with my Bo Bunny butterfly and forgot 

to photograph what I was doing. 

Applied some gesso first then while it was wet

added some Little Birdie Mica Powder, 

Art Alchemy Waxes in Rich Copper and Vintage Gold.

Topped with a painted cabachon. 

As the photo has quite a bit of black I though it needed

a little more so added five tiny pearls (one is hiding) to the lace.

Here's a few close ups!
