Embrace - Mixed Media canvas - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today, I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a mixed-media canvas.


First, I primed the canvas with white gesso. When done, I covered the background with paper and light modeling pastes to add more interest. Then I added a design with the Dots Stencil and white crackle paste. I let it dry naturally to allow the crackles to appear.


I primed all the chipboard with white gesso. I glued a piece of paper on the Jigsaw Pieces, then covered them with clear crackle paste.


I built my composition to my linking starting with the Jigsaw pieces, then I add the biggest elements such as the Flower Buds #1 and the Spring Blooms #3.


Next, I added the Dandelions and I finished with the Poppy Heads. 


When everything was completely dry, I added some color with black and brown liquid acrylic paints and a lot of water. 


To finish, I added some transparent glitter and a title.

Shine Brightly - Mixed Media canvas - Pascale B

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new canvas. 


First I primed the canvas with white gesso, then added a design with the Fosiilised Stencil and modeling paste. When the modeling paste was completely dry, I covered the whole canvas with clear and white crackle paste, I was careful to remove all excess of the crackle pastes to allow the design to show. I let it dry naturally to allow the crackle to appear.


I painted the canvas with coral and Prussian blue liquid acrylic paints when the pastes were dry. 


I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. For the Floral Corners, I decided to use only copper, Firebird, and honey waxes.


I painted the Wildflowers #3 with the same colors of liquid acrylic paints I used for the background. For the Tea Leaves and the Mini Foliage #5, I used a combination of liquid acrylic paints and waxes.


I colored the flowers with diluted coral paint and distressed the edges with brown Distress ink.  


To finish, I added some gold and copper glitters.
