Dream Mixed Media Canvas

Hi Friends!

Today i have a Mixed media canvas, which is a Guest Design post at Lulupu – Craft Lounge .

Here’s a look at my MM canvas. Oh yeah…Tutorial too 🙂

Took 9.5 by 11.5 inches primed flat canvas.
Took Dylusions Lemon zest in a palette and Peeled paint Distress stain dabbed in craftmat. Using separate wet wipes swipped these mists from top to bottom of canvas. This gives a neat coverage.
Then took a 5”x7 “ white cs and used Sizzix- TimHoltz mixmedia thinlits dies to diecut it diagonally.

Used Wendy Veicchi Embossing paste (translucent) and TimHoltz  Honeycomb stencil in the diagonal portion of cs. It gives such lovely sheen after drying.
When the paste is still wet, sprinkled generously Prima- Finnabair Mini artstones on it. Leave it to dry as such.
After drying, smooshed the versafine pad directly on the diecut areas and heat embossed it using Ranger Silver Embossing powder. Then mist the cs with LSG spray – Azure sea asters and sponged the edges with frayed burlap distress ink. And then it was matted with a pp, whose edges are distressed with Rich cocoa momento ink.
Using Sizzix –Pete Hughes, Magical butterfly die, diecut the butterfly from a white cs. Colored using Metallic Gelatos and heat embossed twice using Ranger’s UTEE clear. Prima junkyard metal zipper – Inspire, is smooshed with Picket fence stain is added as Butterfly body using foam adhesive.
A resin piece randomly colored using Prima Art alchemy paint– Steampunk copper is added on the matted cardstock with  ivory sisal at centre. Butterfly is then topped on it.
Few handmade florals are made using Sizzix- TH Tattered florals – diecut from pp, sponged with Shell pink, edges sponged with frayed burlap Distress ink, shaped and used pink rhinestones for centres.  Sizzix – TH Elegant flourishes die is used to diecut from a white cs, sponged slightly with frayed burlap DI. 
Leaves are from Sizzix Garden greens, diecut from pp, stamped with Bobunny script stamp randomly using Archival ink -sepia, sponged with Frayed burlap DI on edges.
TimHoltz word band is added to cs using natural hemp twine. Flowers, flourishes , leaves are arranged as per pic with few crocheted ribbon and white tulle. Stamped Kaisercraft stamp on a ivory cs and sponged with peeled paint DI and Archival sepia ink, added using foam adhesive.  Negative of leaf diecut is used to stencil at canvas corners using peeled paint ink. Same ink splatters finally on the canvas. Edges of the canvas is smooshed with vintage photo Distress stain for that final framed look. 

Hope you liked the stepwise instruction for the simple Layered MM canvas .

First Blogoversary..Remembrance Day…

Its my blog’s first birthday…More than anything…its a great remembrance day for me…The quilling has turned my world into a very beautiful place…even my boredom into an artistic piece of work…

I love QUILLING and Love to express my LOVE through Quilling….

So, on this special day, i loved to contibute few of my quilled flowers and leaves to LOVE Quilling Charity of Japan.

Its my way of expression….through EXPRESSIVE CREATIONS!!!

This charity is started to pay back the love for the people who make donations for Japan’s tsunami and Earthquake victims.The charity gathers quilled flowers, leaves and insects and make small envelopes, cards as a way of gratitude towards donations made.

I can very well recall the day of Japan’s earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 as Taiwan also gave alert warning throughout the country and we had many earthquake aftershocks. After a day, warning signals were withdrawn and the country was declared safe from tsunami.

Here is my small contribution of quilled flowers and leaves for this wonderful team of people termed Love Quilling Charity. These are ready to make their journey to Japan soon. If you love to express yours, then check here to contribute.

And a special thanks to my dear Blogger pal Suganthi of Daydreams…her constant encouraging words has turned into this one year old blog of mine!!!

Thanks once again dear blogger pals and visitors!!!!
