First Ever Canvas...

Hey everyone,

I worked on canvas for the very first time a few days back and I loved it...
I bought a few more canvas boards the next day :D

I am sticking to smaller sizes of canvas right now...

Its time for the reveal of my very first work on canvas...TADA...


I created the background applying acrylic paints with a credit card...
and the drawing was done with paint markers...

I am entering this project in the following challenges:

Muted Palette Layout

Hello everyone,

Its time for a new sketch over at Stick-It-Down...

The sketch I created for this month is a simple one...and I am loving the interpretations of the Design Team...do check their lovely layouts



I played with a muted palette for the scrapbook page I made inspired from this sketch...

I used a lot of stencils in the background with few distress inks..to mute the colours, I covered the diagonal panel with with a printed tissue paper...
I added a tinyepoxy sticker for the title...I also popped up the photo with foam tape...

I also added 2 altered chipboard flourishes...
To alter the flourishes, I covered it with gesso...also added crackle paste randomly...finally added some colour with Distress Ink and some Archival Ink...


Stencils used -
Tim Holtz Gothic
Stamplorations Old Rose Prints
Rebecca Baer Honeycomb
