Love Mixed Media Canvas

Hi crafters!!

“Very Happy Anniversary to Us” 

Today is our 9th wedding anniversary and i made this Mixed media canvas and gifted him today. As always…His smile says it all 🙂

Let’s see the procedure:

  • Took 9×6.25″ flat panel canvas and gessoed it, after adding layers of tissues. 
  • Added Plumeria and Key Lime acrylic glazes a wash on the background.

  • Stamped and white heat embossed Sosuzy couple stamp on vellum and mounted onto a corrugated paper strip which was dry brushed with gesso.
  • Stenciling done using Prima light paste with Tile TCW stencil.
  • Few random stamping here there.
  • Timholtz chitchat stickers matted with brown cs and mounted on canvas using foam adhesives. 
  • Floral clusters , crocheted leaves sponged with green stazon, which was primarily a lace, white tulle, pearl strings were added.
  • Prima resin icon, ampersand were added.
  • Few wood veneer hearts and wyacinanka chipboard, Kaisercraft butterflies are stamped on to vellum for all those light airy final touches.

Hope you like this Simple Canvas…I absolutely love making it!

Recently i attended a Brush calligraphy workshop in Dubai, last November…Added those few calligraphic touches too!!

You see…i just can’t miss stamping, coloring, fussy cutting and of course Heat embossing 😀
(P.S: Ignore the apostrophe…i did made changes 😀 )

I just kept all on top of my IKEA chest of drawers, which is a recent addition to my craft space 🙂

That is all from me today 🙂
