I Dream of Paris - Altered Mixed Media Canvas

Happy Sunday Sweet Friends

I hope your weekend has been going well.  Sure been praying for everyone dealing with all the Hurricane Matthew.  I am hoping things settle down soon.  

It's time for this month's Mixed Media World's Challenge and this one ia all about Mixed Media and/or Assemblage. 

Mixed Media World Challenge



 I really enjoyed creating this project.  It's ironic how I started creating a totally different project because the first one just wasn't falling into place for me.  I decided to create something with a Paris theme.  This is an 8" x 8" canvas and I used a lot of different things.  It's currently almost midnight and I am exhausted so I will be back in the morning with more details on this project.

 Good morning Sweet Ladies

 I really enjoyed making this and this is how I created it:

*I used an 8" x 8" canvas.
*Added a coat of Gesso.
*Covered front with left over pieces of cardstock from the Angel Company.  It's one of my favorites which is why I only had scraps and unfortunately they went out of business.
*I used scraps of tissue paper around the outside edges of canvas.
*Used two stencils - one a script and the other floral for the background along with molding paste.
*I used a floral die cut and cut out 8 images.  Used four on each corner.  Glued them  on top of each other to create more depth.  
*Sealed entire canvas with a coat of Clear Gel Medium.
*I used a lot of broken chains (cheap - not gold - LOL) to create a border around the edges.  
*Covered it all with a light coat of Gesso.
*Used Rich Espresso Metallic Paint for the inside edges on top of canvas.
*Once dry added all the embellishments.

If you have any questions please let me know.  I am still new to the Mixed Media/Altered Art world but love it.

Pretty in Pink

Happy Happy Saturday My Dear Sweet Friends I've got my Fitztown DT hat on today and I am sharing an altered small composition I made using one of the gorgeous rose images from Fitztown . Here's how I make my altered composition books whether they are the large or small ones. I used a small file and lightly sanded the front & back of the book until all the shine is gone.  I added the cardstock to the front and back using glue. I used my bone folder to make sure the cardstock was adhered well. I used Copics to color the roses. Fussy cut out the roses and attached to the front of the composition book with glue. Used my bone folder to make sure the image was adhered well. Added a strand of faux pearls to the left side. This really is a quick and easy project.  I actually like to make several ahead of time to either give as RAK's or gifts to family, friends or co-workers. Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your feedback and comments....
