Mini Mixed-Media Canvas

Hi Friends,

I am back with a simple Mixed-Media mini-canvas. I celebrated 3 years of togetherness with my husband recently (i.e. 3 years of knowing each other) & I made him a mini-canvas as a gift :)

Materials Used:

• Mini Canvas 4 by 6"
• Gesso
• Paint brush
• Fevicryl ultramarine blue acrylic colour
• Ranger texture paste
• Spatula 
• Pie Lane background stencil
• Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink
• Aged Mahogany Distress Ink
• Finger Sponge dauber 
• Sakura brown water colour pen 
• Scallop rose foam die cut (I had got these as a gift from the fabulous Dr. Sonia as a part of her blog giveaway)
• Leaves cut out from green foam
• Glitter styrofoam balls - 1/2 cm diameter 
• Stamps for sentiments
• Ranger Archival Jet Black Ink
• Hot glue gun

Method:

• Apply a layer of gesso on canvas with paint brush and let it dry
• Mix some gesso with Fevicryl ultramarine blue acrylic colour and paint the canvas in shades of blue
• Once dry, using the Pie-Lane background stencil and spatula apply Ranger texture paste on the canvas
• Once the Ranger paste is dry, apply Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink with sponge finger duaber over the texture paste and define the edges with brown marker or water colour pen 
• I added some texture by stamping some musical notes
• Shape the scallop flowers die cut to make roses 
• Cut leaves from a green foam sheet
• Stick scallop roses, leaves and glitter ball as desired using hot glue gun
• Stamp the sentiment and distress the edges using Aged Mahogany Distress Ink before adhering it to the canvas 

Your mini mix-media canvas is ready :)
