Cherish Canvas

Hello everyone, I hope you are all keeping well. Another busy weekend for me. I shall be demoing from 10 am till 4 pm for Trimcraft in The Range at Cwmdu today. Before I go I wanted to show you the Valentine present I made for my husband.

This is a 5" x 7" (12.5 cm x 17.5 cm) canvas board. I started with black gesso then an uneven layer of DecoArt Media Crackle Paste. Once dry and nicely cracked I stamped some Stampendous text with Archival black ink and splattered black and red DecoArt Media Mister inks and watered down gold acrylic paint. 


The heart is a Flaming Heart from Prima's Relics & Artifacts range which I painted with red acrylic. I then used gold acrylic paint to stamp the veins. I made the 'wings' using air dry clay and an IOD mould by Prima. They were then painted with gold acrylic.


The heart and wings were fixed to the canvas with Heavy Matt Gel and I finished it with the Tim Holtz die-cut word Cherish in red card. 

I hope you all have nice plans for the weekend and have a lovely time whatever you do.
