"Dream" Altered Mini Canvas

Hello craft people.......guess what????

Its mixed media time at Paperlane and they are hosting a workshop that will bring out the artist in YOU!! I cannot wait to attend the  workshop because both my artistic and mixed media skills can certainly improve by learning new techniques :-).  I hope to see you all there...

For my design team project to 'wake up' the mixed media artist in me "smile" I used various techniques on a mini canvas ... see the canvas at a glance below.

I used Martha Stewart's satin acrylic craft paints - Paper Lane stocks the complete range of her new craft products - pop into the store and buy some - they are affordable and a must have!!!  I used goji berry, rubber ducky and putty. Placed a glob size of each colour onto the canvas and painted - it produced that really super colour. This paint is amazing people - its texture is thick and satiny.  It spreads on easy, washes off easy and is a total pleasure to use! You must pop into Paperlane's store to try this fantastic paints!

Products Used:

Martha Stewart satin acrylic craft paints

White, pool, mountain rose adirondack paint dabbers

Mini tile texture template

Poppies and peonies mask

Indie chic nutmeg washi tape

MME chipboard lettering, K&Co glitter wording

Glitter wing butterflies, Prima flowers

Buttons, lace, netting, rub 'n buff from my stash

The blue flowers are created with the poppies and peonies mask and the mini tile texture is visible under the word "Dream".  Under the flowers are washi tape and grunged up creme lace.

Gorgeous butterfly and Prima flowers.

I rubbed some rub and buff on the wheels and that gorgeous flower is by Prima.  The word dream is by K&Company.
