"Lucy" Canvas with 13 Arts (new product)

Hello, 13 Arts fans! 

Today we have a group post over at the 13 Arts Blog featuring the new product collections. 

I was in the mood to create a canvas and used a publicity photo of Lucille Ball from 1935. A good photo always gets me creative .. as well as new supplies! 

My Design Team box from 13 Arts was loaded again this time with all 4 new collections and the co-ordinating stencils, foil, ephemera and chipboard as well as some extra supplies I needed. 

I wanted to have a crackle effect on my canvas so I've added Magic Powder to my gesso. After 24 hours it was ready to go. I also stenciled on top of that but because my surface was bumpy, it looked slightly different. 

I did some random stamping as well before I applied my paints. 

I had already decided to use the Under the Stars collection along with the In Bloom collection and coordinated my paint/mist to work with those colors. My colors are all listed below. Once that was dry, I was able to add my photo layers and embellishments. At the last minute I decided to add some foil transparency to fill a blank area and am so pleased with how it turned out. 

I am loving all the ephemera packs that we received this time as I am not a big fussy cutting fan. These are all so beautiful including the florals, butterflies and bumble bees

Here are some more close-ups for you:
