Just playing around....

I love doing mixed media!  And I especially love doing canvases... This canvas started out with a Mustard Seed background.  Then, I took Ranger Texture Paste and applied it to the bottom of the canvas.  After the texture paste was dry, I applied Salty Ocean Distress Ink over top. Using Spiced Marmalade and the Tim Holtz layer stencil, I stenciled color upon the top of the canvas.

I then took my Distress Marker Spritzer tool and the Mowed Lawn Distress Marker and spritz randomly over the page.  (I love the Spritzer tool!!  It's so nice to be able to use it with different markers and not just the Distress Markers.)  I applied some Titanium White DecoArt paint to the right side of the canvas in a random pattern and then I stamped the Tim Holtz sentiment on the painted area with Archival Ink.  (I haven't had success yet stamping with paint.  I'm told it is a bit of a learning curve, but I won't give up!!)

Using the same colors from the canvas (Salty Ocean, Mustard Seed, and Spiced Marmalade) and mailing tags, I created blended backgrounds with the Ink Applicator tool.  After drying, I took a hexagon punch and made hexagon die cuts.  After gluing the diecut hexagons on the canvas with Ranger Matte Medium, I also adhered two metal corners up top.


Thanks for stopping by!
