Post 434: Vintage Mixed Media Canvas- Imagine

Hi friends!!

I've created a Vintage Mixed Media Canvas- "Imagine". This is the project I made for inspiration while Guest Designing at the Art Playground Blog's May Play. "Imagine", "Discover" & "Live, Create, Tell the Story" are the sentiments I wanted to convey to motivate myself and others.

Here are some photos of the canvas:













Process:

1. Prepared the 6 by 8 canvas board with Prima's Heavy White Gesso
2. Applied Modelling Paste through Mudra Stamps Grunge Fx Stencil
3. Added Lindys Midnight Bronze Embossing Powder to the wet Modelling Paste and heat set it to get a bubbly textured look.
4. Added colors using Lindy's Sprays & Shakers.
5. Did background stamping with Archival Ink, Visible Image, Hero Arts, Prima & Dylusions Stamps
6. For the focal element used one of the Tim Holtz Paper Dolls.
7. Created the main composition and did layering using multiple elements including stamped wings, gauze, Creative Embellishment Mini Gear Wood Clocks, metal charms, wooden alphas & numbers, sisal & washi tape.
8. Added brads and black thread to create movement in the piece.
9. For the sentiments, used a few Tim Holtz Ideaology stickers.
10. Dry brushed on white gesso on the textured surface for some highlights
11. Created ink splatter and highlighted some of the elements with Finnabair waxes.
12. In the end, added a few details with a white gel pen & black marker & also, darkened the edges of the canvas with distress inks.

I am linking this to the following challenges:

Creative Embellishments May Challenge- I was inspired by the vintage photo and brown colors in the mood board. For the twist, I've included a Vintage Paper Doll by TH. I've used Creative Embellishment's Mini Gear Wood Clocks here behind the boy's photo.

Mixed Media Art April Challenge (I was inspired by the colors, rust and book pages)

Mixed Media Place April Challenge (was inspired by the brown colors, birds and motivational quote in the moodboard)

Thanks a lot for your precious time :)
Stay Blessed!
