Sept Cute As A Button Inspiration

Happy Tuesday!

I'm on the

Cute As A Button Inspiration Showcase Blog

sharing my inspiration project for this month.

I created a mixed media canvas using

Geisha Dance.

I started by coloring the image with pencils and fussy cutting.

I pulled out a 12"x12" canvas,

a 12"x12" piece of DP from K &Company

and some mixed media gel.

I adhered the DP to the canvas with the gel.

Next I pulled out some metallic acrylic paints,

a Heid Swaps stencil and gold texture pasted 

and some wood and chipboard pieces.

I took the metallic paints and randomly painted the canvas,

just to give a little interest to the background.

I applied the texture paste through the stencil.

While I left the paint and texture paste to dry,

I primed the wood and chip board pieces with white gesso.

When these pieces were dry Painted with gold paint.

I painted the sides of the canvas with gold paint also.

Once everything was dry, I added all my pieces to the canvas.

I ended up adding a fan I made with card stock,

some paper flowers and some seed beads.

This is what I ended up with!

I love doing these mixed media canvases

because there's no right or wrong

and I think they make great gifts!

I hope I've inspired you to give it a try!

You'll have fun and want to do more!

Until next time

Happy Crafting!
