Mini Mixed media Canvas Tutorial

Mini Mixed Media Canvas Tutorial



I thought I'd do a tutorial this morning for a mini mixed media canvas .. I hope you'll play along :o)

I used a cheap canvas board for this project, but any canvas or even mount board would do.
I used colourwash and glimmer mists (made my own in my mini misters with perfect pearls)and covered the canvas.

Then I tore a page or two out of an old french novel.


Using Claudine Hellmuths Studio line paints & a babywipe I cover the page. (I used the light blue first)



Then I begin to add more colours (as many as you like until your happy with it)


Next I prepare my collage elements, these are all from Artchix Studio .. well worth a look !

Then I use Claudine hellmuths Multi Medium Matte to adhere the pages to the canvas :




Next using a stencil (Crafters workshop 6x6 template) with Pine needles distress ink I just do small amounts on the paper & canvas.




Using Black Archival ink I stamped an image (stamper anonymous Timholtz stamp)on to the paper.


then I started to assemble the collage using ideaology metal accents on the watch.



As a finishing touch I have added Glossy accents to the number 5 to add more dimension.




& that's all there is to it ... You can use a smaller version of this idea for ATC's or cards .. anything really .. just have fun x

  4. I'm sorry for don't make me more clear when I said different. Maybe, because of my English as a second language (I'm brasilian), I'm still learning better ways to do this happen. When I said different, I mean unique, beautifull! I really loved the work you do and one day I will sign into your classes.
