Most of what I do you will find on YouTube....but sometimes I just need to create without a camera. Sometimes what I do takes days of thought and creativity. This is one of those projects. So I will do my best to explain this here in writing.
This is my first piece of canvas art. I guess if you look at this as mixed media,
then it's is my 3rd mixed media project.
then it's is my 3rd mixed media project.
First I did a paint pour on an 8x10 canvas (using Valspar interior paint) in shades of pink and white....there isn't much contrast but I got the look I was going for. The metal filigree corners are from Creating With Details , and the antique key I got on ebay. The Paris postcard (digital) is from VectoriaDesigns Etsy store, I inked the edges with "Vintage Photo" Distress Ink. The tiny butterfly is from a punch. I added lace (from Michaels), and flat back pearls (From Creating With Details), and paper flowers (from Amazon). I stamped a ribbon and added that too. For the Eifle Tower I used spray adhesive to attach a patterned paper to a piece of cardboard from a cereal box and cut it out with my Cricut, gave the edges a distressed look with "Vintage Photo" Distress Ink, then used adhesive foam tape to "pop" it up over the other elements.
To learn more about upcycling cardboard food containers watch my video Trash To Treasure Part 2 (this link won't work until Sept. 22).
I hope this inspires you to try some fun things and make your own beautiful creations.
