Hope, Love, Joy Scared Heart Canvas

Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a canvas I created using Prima's Archival Cast Scared Heart.  I started with a canvas, added IOD Mold 1 and Paperclay to create the background.  I spayed the paperclay with three different colors of Color Bloom Spray, Cotton Candy, Glistening Waves and Lime Wedge. 

I love how the heart turned out!  Then I used Metallic Luster, Gold Rush to hit all the high spots with a touch of gold.  I added a cluster of flowers, and used gold foil thickers in script to add the words.  Here's a few more close ups: 

That's it for me today.  Until next time!  Hugs ~ Dawna

Angel Canvas Tutorial

Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a canvas I created for my swap partner (RobandTim2) in this months mixed media swap at scrapbook.com.  This is the first time I've worked with paper clay, so I really enjoyed making this!  Lets have a closer look:

To create the frame, I took an 11x14 inch canvas and reversed it.  I used "Creative Paperclay" and Prima  IOD mold No. 1 to make the ornate detail.  Each wet molded piece was laid end to end, securing them to the frame with matte gel.   Shrinkage was patched with extra clay.

To make the wings I used a rolling pen and rolled out paper clay flat and carved out a pair of wings.  I embossed the wings with a rose embossing folder by just pressing it firmly into the wet clay wings.   I used Prima mold Nautical II to add flourishes to the wings    And I used the same mold to add the beaded trim around the dress.  

Before gluing anything down, I used some modeling clay and white acrylic paint and stenciled small crosses in the background.  Then I mixed some primary blue and black acrylic paint and splattered paint drops in the background.  Finely, I embellished each corner with 49th and Market Potpourri navy flowers and Prima white flowers. 

To finish the project off,  I rubbed Art Deco Gold Rush Metallic Luster paste all over the ornate frame and the beaded trim on the dress.  Attached the wings, bodice and flower work with matte gel medium.  To finish up, I created a complimentary card, wrapped the canvas and added a few goodies.

Traditional Chandelier

At Home in the Craftroom!

Today I'm sharing Prima's Traditional Chandelier that I created earlier this year.  I was inspired by Miranda Edney Regal Chandelier on YouTube.  I painted it with Egg Blue Prima chalk paint, inked on some swirls and applied a finishing coast of Mod Podge with iridescent glitter in it.  Lets have a closer look:   

After painting, I added Diamond Dust to the bulbs to make them sparkle.  Then I added flowers and garden themed embellishments and finely added the crystal chandelier drops.Here's a few more close-ups:
