Hello Everyone
I have a mixed media canvas to share with you..
FABulous life, uisng FABulicious FABScraps! LOL
I did loads of fussy cutting for this project. I definitely wanted to use all the gorgeous blooms and leaves on the patterned papers.

Instructions:

Using the Nuvo
mousse and spatula and FabScraps stencil, stencil 4 leaves from the bottom of
the canvas upwards and outwards. Allow this to dry.
2. Using the gesso and a spatula and the Tim Holtz
stencil, stencil the crocodile patterning, in and around the nuvo mousse
stencilling. Before this dries, sprinkle Pentart 3D powder over the
stencilling. Allow it all to dry.
3. Spritz the canvas with water and add the various
distress stains and green acrylic paint randomly over the stencilling. Add some
Golden Sands Infusions on the edges too. Keep spritzing water to get the
colours to run and mix. Once dry, add a few watered-down splatters of the wild
plum dimensional pearls.
4. Colour the Fabscraps elephant ear chipboard pieces
with the green acrylic paint. Once dry,
add some white gesso highlights.
5. Fussy cut lots of leafy bits, small flowers and birds
from the patterned paper and ink all the edges.
6. Fussy cut the title from the patterned paper and ink
the edge with Peacock Feathers.
7. Create and layer the central focal point cluster with
the chipboard leaves, fussy cut leaves and flowers, pink and purple flowers and
birds, as per the photo.
8. Add some purple organza glitter to the purple flower
centres.
9. Use a paintbrush and water down some gesso. Use the paintbrush to gently add some white
splatters all over the canvas.
10. Lastly layer and add the title.
