Mixed Media Canvas

Hello there everyone, Heidi back here sharing a gorgeous little 8x8 canvas I made of my eldest daughter and her partner.  Spring has arrived on our side of the world and I wanted to do something bright and bold.

I started off by painting the canvas with some gesso, and then got some Double Scoop Gelato's.  I just love the bright bold colors.  I randomly colored in squares on the canvas using three of four different colored Gelatos and then using a wet wipe blended the colors together.

Once I was happy with the background, I added some texture paste and the diamond stencil on it and did some random stamping using black ink.

I then cut up some circles and squares from some old papers and added them to the canvas to bring in some other bright colors.

For the gorgeous Triangles I just used Faber Castle Big Pen Marker to color them in,  I have to say I just love the shapes and I have ordered some of these in cork too.

.                        

Here is a little close up of the Triangles - I just love the texture they give the canvas

Finally added my photo and some White Ink spats over the canvas, and my canvas was done.

Friday Fun !!!!

Hi everyone, it's Heidi here to share another layout using the some of the new gorgeous triangles and filmstrip's in store.  

You just have to love these little triangles, there are four different triangles, one has circles inside, one is plain, one has stripes and then you get a small solid one as well.

I am really loving mixed media at the moment, so have created this layout and to embellish it I have used the triangles which I have inked in black for contrast and then embossed with Lime Green American Crafts Embossing Powder.

Because the background is full of colours and textures, I needed the dimension from the triangles, to stand out.  Take a look at the close ups

I find using a hot glue the easiest to stick them down with.

The 2nd item which I have added to my layout are these gorgeous little filmstrips... OMG they are just fabulous.

I cut one in half and then cut different lengths, inked them with Black Brilliance Ink and added them onto the layout, 

So stop on by the shop and pop these into your shopping cart next time you are shopping, they are just gorgeous and you will not be disappointed,
