This week on the Bee Crafty blog I am sharing a 12" x 12" canvas that I created to hang in my living room...
This project was a labour of love as I really wanted to create something that used as many of my stamp designs as possible and was really bright to contrast with our cream walls.
1) I started by brayering Calypso Teal Dylusions paint onto the canvas...
2) Next I brayered Lime Dylusions paint onto the bottom part of the canvas...
3) Using the large Fernando inkable with Polished Jade Dylusions paint, I stenciled on top of the green area...
4) After that I added stenciling using the Circles d'inkable and White Linen Dylusions paint...
5) Next came the part that took the longest but was really enjoyable to do. I stamped a range of the different flowers, leaves and butterflies using Memento ink then coloured them using alcohol pens. After that I coated them using glossy accents and left them all to dry thoroughly...
6) I then started arranging the flowers and leaves across the bottom part of the canvas until I was happy with the placement then stuck them down using glue gel...
7) At this point I decided that I wanted a bit more interest in the sky area so I used the Texture Circles with different shades of blue Archival inks...
8) Then I added the butterflies...
9) Finally I had to decide if I wanted to add any words (which of course I did!) and how I wanted them to look. So I stamped the same word out in two different ways and then with my families help decided which way we wanted to use...
Here are a few close up pictures...
