and the theme for this week is...
HOME DECOR
this week we are creating something to decorate our homes...it could be a canvas...a wall hanging...a candle holder...coaster...whatever takes your fancy and we are showcasing...
you don't have to use them to join in but we would love to see how you use them if you do.
If you visit here often...you'll know I've got a bit of a thing for canvasses...not sure how many are currently stored in the cubbyhole but I just couldn't resist looking out some Prima goodies and adding to the collection...
I started off by priming my 8" x 8" canvas with a layer of gesso and once dry I fixed down torn strips of paper from Prima's Life Time A4 pad with Ranger Multi Medium Matte and to take away the stark whiteness of the gesso...applied a thin wash of Gathered Twigs Distress Paint all over with a damp baby wipe.
and added Prima "The Archivist" Statement Stickers sealing them down with Distress Collage Medium Matte...
giving me a base to apply Vintage Photo Distress Crayon which I rubbed in with my finger and then removed some of the crayon from the surface of the stickers with a slightly damp paper towel...
I mixed the Art Basics 3D Transparent Matte Gel with the Art Stones and applied randomly over the canvas...
and used Wendy Vecchi's Crackled Textured Paste with the Splatters Mini Stencil from Set 3...
I fixed Prima Mechanicals to the centres of the flowers...
and metal numbers that I had in my stash along with sentiment stickers from "The Archivist" Statement Stickers Pad. To finish I dripped Picket Fence and Tarnished Brass Spray Stain over the canvas to create a random splattered look.
You can find all the products I used over at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp online store...just click on the links below...

ReplyDeleteThere are always such clever little details in every single piece you do! I walk away from your blog wanting to copy everything you've thought up, so thanks for using so much brain power on my behalf! I thought the way you repeated the same alphabet letters was nothing short of brilliant!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous canvas Kath!! I particularly love the use of the letter stickers, what a fantastic idea. And all the texture is wonderful.
