Today's post is for the new challenge over at
My project is a canvas for my sister
who recently celebrated her birthday.
The canvas has been gesso'd, covered with
crinkled tissue paper and crackle paint.
I decided to go with the beautiful deep fuchsia colours
as they are the colours in her living room.
I have used lots of MM elements here.
As this has taken a bit of time to put together,
(only because of my restricted sitting time)
Here are some close up's to check out!
Using Lindy's Magical's, Shaker and Nuvo Shimmer Powder.
Heat Embossed Chipboard and Cheesecloth.
Added three gesso'd kebab sticks to the background
and assembled lots of flowers. Some were coloured with Magical's.
Cut out the hearts in gold and inserted mulberry paper
and a gold heart mold embossing with the same glitter above.
Added sprinkles of Diamond Dust.
Finished with a Love You sticker from Tim Holtz.
That's it for me this month.
Pop over and see the great Mixed Media Makes
my Team Mates created and we would love to see yours
in our Gallery this month.
Hope you are all staying safe and well
during this unprecedented time.
It does make for more craft time if -
you are retired like me.
Till next time

Wow, what a stunning canvas! I love the tissue paper texture and those powders blended so beautifully in the background 😊. It's such a beautiful gift for your sister - I bet she loved it! Take care and wishing you a Happy August! Hugs, Jo x
This is a very intricate piece Ina. Love all the different details especially the little gold hearts. Your sister will love it!
Great mixed media art design. I love the colors too.
Oh, my,my,my, MY!!!!! Just look at all those layers of goodness. And your colors are just beautiful. All that texture, I don't know HOW you do it. I have to pin, not because I will ever attempt this, I'm not good at mixed media. But I just want to be able to look at it from time to time. This is so GORGEOUS!!!!!!
