Happiness Blooms from within - Michelle Carrick, Mood Board Inspiration

Good morning beautiful scrappers,

Today I'm back with more inspiration for you!

Using the June mood board, I created this canvas which is inspired by Anna Dabrowska! 

This is my sister-in-laws, Sister 

who got married at the beginning of this year!!

I loved this photo and need to do something, soft and pretty.

I started with the 12x24cm canvas and 

attached the decorative tissue paper - Flutter, using soft mat gel.

I then attached my lace, canvas strips and Dusty Attic flourish with heavy body gel. for the other side I used the cut out as a stencil using modelling paste.

I dried the canvas!

Once completely dry, I painted over with diluted heavy gesso

and added texture paste; crackle paste.

I the added the colour sprays - Poppy fields, Precious Stone - 

mixed in with liquid acrylic paint - Tiger Orange

I then touched up with the heavy gesso. 

Leaving the canvas to dry, 

I then took the artist pallet and painted the heavy gesso first and 

attached left over tissue paper.

I then used a script stencil using expanding mousse - Tuscan gold.

After drying added crackle past with heavy gesso.

I added mint Sparkle wax to both canvas and pallet.

For the straws, I rolled script paper on one and inked the other one with Oregano.

Using alcohol inks - sepia; butterscotch - 

on my white painted chip boards to help create an rustic look.

for the leaves I used Clover green.

after all this it was a case of placing and attaching everything down.

To finish the canvas, I added loads of flowers, metal embellishments and glass bubbles, as well as other bits and bobs!
