June already? I've no idea where the first half of this year went. I'm pretty sure the weather has been caught out too as we've had mostly April showers for the past week. I'm hoping we get some summer weather soon.

I have made an 8"x 8" (20 x 20 cm) canvas based on an idea I've had for a while. I started by covering the canvas with black gesso. Once dry I added some hexagons with texture paste and a stencil. I then glued scraps of lace and added touches of silver acrylic paint.
I cut some hexagons from thick greyboard and triple heat embossed them. Once cooled and set I fixed them onto the canvas with Prima's 3D Matt Gel.
I then covered most of the canvas with a mixture of Prima Artstones, some metal nuts and scraps of cotton.
Once everything was dry I painted most of the small elements with silver acrylic and added some splats of the paint to finish.
Now it's your turn to have fun and create your mixed media projects. You can enter our challenge as many times as you like. A full list of the rules is on the challenge blog.
