Hi again! What I am going to share next is a triptych. It's a work of art that is divided into three sections (in this case, three canvases). I have been hooked with the techniques I am using with my art journal spreads that I have employed them on canvas as well. I still haven't gotten over the splatter technique yet and I don't think I will ever be. You will see for yourself when you check my next posts. Hehe.
For this triptych, I used pink and blue as the main colors. My new distress stains (in shades of blue) have arrived during this time so I made use of them for the project.
First, I coated the canvases with gesso. Afterwards, I stenciled on the surface with light molding paste (I ran out of molding paste. TT.TT) I then proceeded with the stamping. I stamped like mad! Hah. Then I added the first two colors (light cream and light pink) using watered down liquid pearls. I found that they are permanent when dry and whatever liquid material you put on top of it would not smudge the original layer. Great! Lastly, I added the blue elements using distress stains.
I adhered a journaling card on the first canvas, a postcard on the second one and another journaling card and a diecut with a pin button on the third one for the focal points. I forgot about the stains being water reactive so they smudged a bit when I brushed some micro pearls. Gad. I never learned because the same thing happened on my second triptych and on the fifth canvas. Hmph.
I love the subtle shades of pink and blue on this project. I thought of putting some other embellishments, but decided against it in the end. It is simple yet beautiful. I hope you find it as such yourself. Thanks for stopping by today!
