Hi there, Judy here creating a mixed media project for Clear Scraps!
Mardi Gras is March 4th and being a Louisiana native I thought a Mardi Gras themed canvas would be fun to make.
I am using the 12 inch Shattered Glass Stencil and the Fleur-de-lis Shaker.
The canvas I am using measure 9 x 12 inches. I pulled out some purple acrylic paint, gold texture paste and a pallet knife.
The first step is to add some purple paint to the canvas. I left some streaks in the paint as I did not want total coverage.
Next apply gold texture paste through the stencil with the pallet knife randomly.
I wanted to add a little green paint and did so with a dry baby wipe by swiping in various areas.
Assemble the shaker next.
Trace the solid chipboard back piece onto the backside of a gold glitter card stock and cut out.
Glue the gold card stock onto the solid piece.
Adhere 2 of the chipboard form pieces together.
I applied gilding wax to the front of the 3rd chipboard form piece and the edges of all chipboard pieces.
Glue the 2 chipboard pieces that were adhered together to the back piece.
Add shaker bits to the back. I used sequins.
Remove the protective film from both sides of the acrylic piece.
Glue the acrylic on top of the assembled piece.
Add the last form piece.
Now we’re ready to put the canvas together!
I had a Mardi Gras themed mask I made years ago that I thought would work perfectly on this project.

It was adhered with a low temp glue gun to the top of the canvas.
The shaker was added to the lower right corner. Gold beads were glued between the masks and shaker and the canvas is complete.
So, what do you think? I had a lot of fun putting this canvas together and hope you like it!Maybe I’ve provided a little inspiration to do a project you may not normally create. If so let me know?
I’ll be back with more projects next month! Until then be sure and check out more Clear Scraps inspiration by following on social media.
