Hi,
This is Veronica from vicky's scrapping passion, sharing with you my next post for Craftwell. Currently, I'm spending some time in Galveston, Tx and decided to make a mixed media canvas as décor for our vacation home.
I used the sassy shell bag kit by Tonic, and since I was limited by what I brought, it was an easy choice for this cute canvas:
Steps:
First, I added some crumbled aqua tissue paper using Clear Tar Gel, Golden to a plain canvas. Usually, I use ModPodge for this step, but the gel worked just fine. Then, I used a Finnabair stencil to add some blue ink, ColorBox/ Graphic45 to the dried tissue. In the mean time, I died cut the shell images I wanted to used using my SNAP and the specialty cardstock included in the kit.
Then, I did the fun part of spraying with gold sparkle spray the wooden mermaid clip, and some punched sand dollar pieces. I also added some Crystal Drops accents to the wooden shells, which I also sprayed when the drops where dried.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment on watercolor paper using archival ink. I distressed the hand-tore edges with the sparkle spray using a brush.
I tore some leftover sand motive printed paper, and added the strips to the bottom of the canvas. When dried, I added some clear Crystal drops accents to represent waves.
I added a net wrapping I had from some fruits, and used glossy accents glue and 3D zots to glue every piece to the canvas. Once assembled, I added randomly Crystal Drops in blue and clear, and once the dried, I sprayed randomly with the gold sparkle spray, and added some sequins, Simon says stamps using clear gloss.

Here is how the Mermaid clip works for adding a picture:
I am very happy with the final mixed media canvas and put it on a wall already.
