Hi Everyone!
Today I created a mixed media canvas to share with you.
I used lots of distress inks, pearlized mists, and Helmar adhesives.
I created the canvas background by gesso-ing first then using a distress ink technique with Ranger and Tim Holtz Inks and Perfect Pearls mists plus lots of water. Then I stamped the
Stampavie "A Creative Life" sentiment and image on the canvas and heat embossed. (The set was a gift from my sweet friend
Allie Gower) I also stamped the image on an old book page then watercolored it. I attached it to the canvas with
Helmar Decoupage.
I used
Helmar Gemstone glue to attach the tiny little glitter flowers and Helamr Decoupage to add the eggshell mosaic coblestone walk way.
I would love to know what you think about my canvas, especially since I am really just a card artist. :)
Like the sentiment says though...."To live a creative life, we must loose our fear of being wrong".
To see a couple of photos of the project in the works, please visit the
Helmar team blog. ;)
