Gypsies Moments "Heart with Wings" Art Canvas

Happy Valentine's Day

& 

Canvas Corp Brands

What a great way to celebrate this LOVE Day...than with one of our first Canvas Corp Brands Challenges (see more canvas art on the Canvas Corp Brands blog...they asked us to come up with a canvas to best defines us as a creative person and designer...our style that best suits us. I knew from the moment I saw 7gypsies "Gypsies Moments"  new paper line and 4 x 4 canvas. I started gathering my vintage shabby chic treasures I have laying around my home...to inspire me everyday. 

I also wanted to create my canvas with a "heart with wings"

 and my love for vintage mother of pearl buttons...

Tutorial

(4 x 4 Canvas Corp Canvas)

Step 1. Take modeling paste and

 Tattered Angels glimmer mist in Wedding Pink..

(this is so fun and great to create your own colored paste)

Step 2. After you blended the mist and paste well...

grab a stencil and pallet knife and smear on the paste over

stencil onto the canvas.

Step 3. Gathering your favorite mist...I used Tattered Angels Glimmer mist in

Red Tipped Rose, Wedding Pink, Iridescent Silver,

 Tattered Leather and Simply Sheer in Baby Blue.

 I also did a white wash over the whole

canvas using water mixed with gesso, then dry.

Step 4. I wanted to give my canvas a antique weathered look and feel.

I took Tattered Angels glimmer mist in Tattered Leather poured 

about a teaspoon full in a tea saucer with water.

Step 5. Brush on glimmer mist wash over the canvas (using 

a brush I control where I want to highlight darker areas).

Step 6. Now I poured the wash over the whole canvas and 

let it set on Canvas Corp canvas then drip excess off the canvas in saucer.

Step 7. Used a heat tool to dry and set the wash.

Step 8. I grabbed my favorite flowers Burlap Textured Blooms by Petaloo

and  Tattered Angels Glimmer mist is Wedding Pink & Iridescent Silver.

I sprayed these colors on the flower bloom and heat set.

Step 9. I gathered my pieces for my altered heart.

Chip board, Canvas Corp Printed Papers, Heart Die....

Die cut the pieces, glue together, distress the edges, add 

touches with layers of gesso and drying them to bubble...

Step 10. Adding my favorite new papers from 7gypsies "Gypsies Moments"!!

And  7gypsies Charms and Antique Brass Pin

I hope and prayer you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
