A big Thank You to everyone who entered Challenge #51 in July. Your projects were all fabulous and our winners have been announced on the blog.
Our theme is always
"Anything Mixed Media Goes"
I have a 12"x 9" (30 x 23 cm) canvas to show today.
I started by applying texture paste through a stencil by Marta from Maremi Small Art around the edges of the canvas. Once dry I covered it with a layer of black gesso.
I added splatters with a gold and a white Posca pens.
I then applied Pebeo Empire Gold gilding wax to the raised texture paste and the edges of the canvas.
I brayered acrylic paints onto watercolour card and die cut circles which I then stamped using a PaperArtsy Eclectica stamp set by Tracy Scott.
I again used my gold and white Posca pens to add details to the circles before mounting them all up on the canvas using foam pads for dimension.
