Hi! How are you? I caught a vicious cold a few days after getting back to work in January so I was not able to make that many projects. I hated it, but I tried to bear with it.
Anyway, I was able to make two canvases during the long weekend of January 16th. Gad. I had fever and I ached all over for two days. I only managed to start the first canvas on the third day. Tsk.
Here is the first one that I came up with. I didn't like the base that much. It is just too glossy. I'll try black gesso some other time (when I have extra cash to buy a jar. It's a bit pricey.)
After the acrylic paint dried, I stenciled with light molding paste. Then I inked the surface with distress ink. I then stamped some text onto the bottom part of the canvas using a Brilliance pigment ink. I splattered metallic paint onto the canvas. I added the embellishments and glazed them with Liquid Pearl. I embossed some more text at the bottom and added some micro pearls. I adhered the paper flowers and the crystals as finishing touch.
I didn't like the gloss of the base much, but I think it still turned out fine. How do you find it? Let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks for looking!
