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 :) 

Hope you liked the tutorial.
