Hello, 13 Arts fans!
Today I'm sharing a mixed media canvas created with loads of 13 Arts products. My crackle background was done with modeling paste and Magic texture paper. After the canvas dried overnight, I began adding color the next morning.
I started simply enough with painting on Violet Water Ink followed by Olive Green Water Ink. I used my spray mister to move the ink and create the pattern. Next I painted on the Indigo Chalk mist, drying each color as worked.
When everything was nice and dry I created a Custom Metallic Wax using Citrine and Amber Color Glows mixed with glossy Decoupage Wax. I love how that work out and brushed it on with a stipple brush. I also colorized my Sunrise chipboard butterfly using the custom wax.
Since I wanted to work with jewel tones, I went through my Pastel Spring ephemera as well as my older In Bloom ephemera and planned how I would arrange these.
Next, I added some lime green roots in a few strategic areas and then began adding my photo and other embellishments. My photo is mounted on 3 layers of corrugated cardboard, so I have plenty of room to add embellishments.
I actually worked on the lower left hand corner first and once I completed that, I focused on my focal area.
I like to take some photos that will give you an idea of the dimension I like to create.
For interest, I tucked in a few metal embellish, this clock and also the spoon on the left which I filled with gold microspheres.
And I've always loved these bumblebees from the In Bloom collection, so had to add them here.
Here are a few more close-ups:
And these were my color products.
It was exhilarating to get my fingers inky after being away from my scrap table for the past 2 weeks. Lots of family events going on!
Thanks for coming by today!
See you next time.
Sandi
