April Inspiration for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hello Friends..

So I am back this month on 2Crafty Chipboard Blog to inspire you all. So here's my first project...

Mixed Media Canvas  - "Precious"

I created this canvas using some really gorgeous pieces of chipboards from 2Crafty, especially the tattoo design that I really liked.

I layered my other elements with the chippies, overlapping where needed.
To start, I covered my canvas with a patterned paper from my stash and prepared a background with some stenciling and stamping. Then I moved on with arranging the collage elements, starting with some scrap pieces of paper and lace. 

With my layers, I incorporated the chippies. For the tattoo swirl, lacey border and loopy font "Precious", I applied the same technique. I applied Finnabair's metallic acrylic paint "Romance Pink" roughly with my finger.

 After that I did some random stamping on the chippies with black archival ink, followed by distressing the edges. I love adding some details to chippies. I also applied some highlights of Finnabair's wax "white gold" which actually added more interest. 

I used a set or gorgeous flowers from Prima Marketing that came up very well with theme. I made this clock using Prima IOD mould and paper clay and applied a layer of Finnabair wax to give it some shine and color. 

For the butterflies chippies, I used Lindy's spray in denim blue color after a layer of white gesso and then highlighted them with wax.

I used some Art Pebbles and lots Art stones and glass glitter from Finnabair/Prima to add to the surrounding embellishments.

Finally added highlights of white gesso and distressed the edges of my canvas.

I loved the outcome of the chippies and they really added to the overall feminine look of the canvas.
