Canvas for Septembers Anything goes @ Altered Eclectics *

For this months challenge I put together a 16 x 20 inch canvas. I constructed the background using various stencils and modelling paste, card, tissue, paints sprays and inka gold.  I printed of a picture of beautiful lady and used gold satin to frame her. As you will see it started as something and changed direction when I go going lol.  The pictures below show the process.











Thanks for dropping by and why not head on over to Altered Eclectics and join in with our challenge for September.

New challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu 1 ends Aug 1st

I have to say I felt at a loss this time even though it is anything goes - so easy but still at a loss.

I decided to alter a A4 grey board cut into sections.  I gesso'd the greyboard and started off with DI ink pads and then spritzed to give some random color asnd then sprinkled some brusho.  I then used my fave tree stamps over the top.

I then mounted the sections onto another sheet of greyboard,  painted black.  I then stamped and coloured trees at the bottom.

Bit of a random piece but quite enjoyed making it all the same.





Thank you for dropping by and why not head on over to Eclectic Ellapu where the PINK Team challenge is Anything Goes and the PURPLE team are hosting Steampunk.

Canvas board ...*

I was scrolling through challenges and discovered the challenge over at Indigoblu this time is ''pocketful of posies'' so knew what I was going to do straight away - well the image I was going to use anyhow lol.  - Poppy heart.

I inked the stamp using white stazon on black card (for a change) I then painted it using H2O's and highlighted the entire image using white gel pen to make it pop.  For the flower centre's I used Th distress embossing powder.  I cut round the heart and I then cut out another heart shape and heat embossed using the same powder.  

I roughed up a canvas board using modelling paste randomly.  I then sprayed the entire background using adirondack colorwash sprays, I wiped inka gold over the texture to make it pop a little more than it was.

The sentiment - the second half of the sentiment is an Indigoblu saying but for the hell of me couldn't get it to work on the canvas so decided to use my tape thingy majig - There you go easy peasy project - I do hope you like it,
 



Please feel free to pop in again real soon

Art dress *

After seeing this tutorial by Angela Holt on You Tube I just has to give it a try and what a trial it was lol.  I got into such a mess with the glue, black velvet and lace with underlay of plum netting and I didn't really get the effect I wanted but I was relatively happy in the end - I used glossy accents over her torso etc and affixed diamante in her hair, ear, neck and velvet bodice (I couldn't capture the velvet all that well either lol).

Then I got to work on the canvas background and painted randomly using grey, white and black.  I stenciled modelling paste randomly and sprayed using dylusions and color washes then a little inka gold.  I glued torn netting round the edges of canvas and 3 butterflies from a napkin to finish it off ( one hiding at the bottom under skirt)

Now for overload - sorry!

Just a quickie today *

I wanted some almost immediate satisfaction in making something quickly.  Have not been feeling well the last couple of days and to make it worse my daughter and the twins are over for the weekend and they are ill too.  So it is the house of sickness at the moment.  I felt I needed to have break so off to the craftroom I went.  This is the result, a small CAS canvas. CAS is not all that easy for me but determined I was lol.

Ingredients - Canvas
Modelling paste and spot stencil
bits of lace, crystal trim painted, flowers, leaves and odds and ends from my bits box.
Gesso and mica sprays over the top
That's it instant satisfaction and now I get to share it with you.

Hugz and love always

Happy Birthday Mr President *

That's right, a brand new challenge and Anything Goes - everyone's favorite theme.  Well it is mine anyhow lol.  

For this month I altered a canvas and used a Marilyn Monroe postcard.  My friend Paula kindly gave a book of them so you will be seeing alot more of her in the future.  

Initially the thought of producing another Finnibair style canvas was in my mind but as soon as I had primed the canvas out from nowhere the scissors were in my hands.  Yes that's right I cut here into pieces lol.  I stuck her randomly to the canvas and then used modelling paste through a stencil between the pieces.  My that was messy and alot of patience was required lol.  I dry brushed the raised areas with black and grey paint and finished it off with inka gold in different colors.  I used diamante trim for her earrings and necklace - does not show that well as it is sparkly all over - never mind.  I touched up her lips with red pencil and used glossy accents over the top.  Trouble is that does not show up all that well lol.




Anyway I do hope you like my project and why not head on over to Rhedd's Creative Spirit and join in with this months fun challenge, we would love to see you there.

My altered canvas Finnabair inspired steampunky style - f

Hi all

I have been watching a few tutorials on You Tube at Finnabair inspired projects.  The lovely people I watched creating their Finnabair projects were Angela Holt, Jennings644 and CreaBoetiek and many more.  I then typed in Finnabair into Google and found her blog - wow so inspiring and I hope I have done them all justice with my attempt.

First of all I prepared a canvas using modelling paste and stencils then various paints and sprays.  

I then printed an image from the net and placed it onto the canvas.  It sat there for many days before going onto the next step



I dived into my treasure box for various pieces of jewelry, metal flowers, butterflies, leaves  I purchased from Butterbee Scraps and the odd wooden pieces from my stash and stuck them around the image.  Lots of odd chain, earrings, pen nibs, rings were used and even a watch I had laying about












I then gesso'd the embellishments

I then sprayed them using the same coloring's as the canvas.  I used black around the image and edges of canvas.  Finally I added inka gold 

















Well thats it really and I apologize for image overload.  I hope you enjoyed your visit and that you will come back again.

Hugz always
