My first Mixed Media Canvas

Hello again so here's my Second Project for That Craft Place

Theme is No Cards

At one time i use to dread any challenges where it wasn't make a card!! But now i really love to do them as you can just sit and play & get messy with glue, texture paste, inks & paints etc.

So this is the first time i have ever done a Mixed Media Canvas & i thoroughly enjoyed it and i hope you like it too!!

Firstly i primed the Canvas with Gesso and left to dry.
Next i started sticking down tissue paper with a multi surface primer from That Craft Place Ltd as it acts like a glue. Very messy this part but so good creating all those creases and folds.
Once dry paint over with Gesso again.


Once the Gesso is dry i applied some texture paste through stencils. Next start placing diecuts & other things onto the canvas and once your happy with it glue them down again with the multi surface primer.
I forgot to take a photo of it before i painted another coat of Gesso all over it to seal it ready for painting. (sorry)

  
Now it's the Fun & Messy part!!! 
The next photo is just me painting on watered down perfect pearls & already it is coming to life. 


Next i used Dylusions Sprays & Deco Art Sprays.


I am showing this next photo because all i did was add a new spray i bought this week from Docrafts Artiste Spritzing Ink. I couldn't believe how good that gold is and how it changed the look of it all!!!


Lastly i added some metal embellishments what i didn't want lot's of colour on and the MDF light bulb. I Dry brushed the die cuts and embellishments to make them stand out more and added some Inka Gold in various colours.

Here it is all finished!! 


and a couple of close ups to see the texture better.
Some of the DT asked me how i made the flower at the top left but i hadn't thought of it as a flower until they said. What it is is a fan from an old computer what my hubby was taking apart and i pinched it!! lol



















The pipes at the sides are just Paper Straws with seed beads and micro beads what have been mixed together in a pot with the multi surface primer and applied to the straws.


All Dylusions Sprays, Docraft Spritzer, Ink Golds, Multi Surface Primer, Gesso, Dies, MDF Cogs & MDF Light Bulb are from That Craft Place Ltd

Please pop over to That Craft Place Blog to see the rest of the makes by the DT.

Hope i haven't bored you with all the photo's as i wanted to try and show you how i made it.
