I used my new Peony Prima spray ink along with some Finnabair texture stamps and a little splash of pan watercolor here and there for depth of color. I used crackle paste through the Prima dots stencil to add some beautiful texture.
Some Art Stones with more spray ink over them, look at the pretty puddles...
I have been so thrilled to find that watercolor works beautifully on primed canvases.
I used a beautiful boxed Prima flower and Prima dies for my embellishments. Distress Crayons helped to highlight the sentiment.
The leaf dies have been on my wish list for ages - they do not disappoint! I enjoyed using some Prima paper from my stash to build my collage layers.
Finally, I dyed a strip of vintage lace with the Color Bloom spray. It worked beautifully!
I'm entering these fab challenges:
(Pink and Purple are my least used colors and super feminine is not my normal style)
You really excel at these mixed media creations Autumn, I love to do them but always feel they end up lacking somewhere, clearly there is a real knack.

ReplyDeleteA beautiful and truly sensitive work of art Autumn! Thanks for joining us on Country View Crafts! Xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful feminine canvas, Autumn! I especially like the pools of colors which are textured by the linen in your canvas! Pretty emboss-like buttons, and a great design tip to put the tag upside down behind the woman, representing how women always strive to do whatever is right, and work diligently at making situations and relationships turn out favorably. Gorgeous elements and design! Hugs, de

Love it when you have a pink project! You have so much going on in this and every project, yet they never look crowded or like a "hodge podge" when I try to do it! I hope you're not getting tired of seeing my comments since I'm playing catch up! Beautiful, Autumn, and I love the picture on your canvas.
ReplyDeleteOh, Autumn! I love your frilly side, and all the wonderful layers of color and texture you created here. It's a gorgeous piece! The pink vintage buttons make my heart go pitty pat! Thanks so much for sharing with us in the Frilly and Funkie Opposites Attract Challenge! xo
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you don't use these colors often, does not show here: it turned out beautiful! As long Christ is strong in us, we are strong. Sometimes it's better to not be strong in own person, but through Christ we can manage a LOT.
ReplyDeleteAutumn not only do you offer inspiration through your creativity but through your words too. Your introduction paragraph was an emotive read that gives real meaningful depth to your gorgeous canvas.Thank you for becoming on of my blogging sisters ( I know I'm often late arriving but I am always watching from a distance and arrive when time allows ) .
