My Super Quick Canvas

Good morning to all our SC readers so glad you have come across to our blog for a peek, I hope your weekend is going well and that your Sunday is a relaxing one.

I am so excited to share today's blog post - I just love the fabulous Jane Davenport, she is so very clever and her drawings definitely inspire me to create.

Jane's new release of products included a JUMBO RUBON at first I was going to rub it straight to a wall in my Art Studio but where is the fun in that right......

So I pulled out a large canvas 20 x 32 inch canvas and sprayed lightly with some water I then painted a rough coat of black paint all over the canvas and edges leaving some white space.

Once the canvas was covered and dry I then painted around the edges randomly with Art Anthology Gemstones Dimensional Paint Blue Topaz, I love how this paint is thick and it has a glaze type finish. I also added touches of the Art Anthology Sorbet Dimensional paint Honolulu Blue around the edges which has a glitter finish.

I then painted some Liquitex Heavy Body Titanium White paint across the black layer using some water and a large brush.

Using 3D Gloss Gel and some gorgeous metallic wrapping paper in several designs I glued random torn pieces around the edge of the canvas.

Using Sienna Colour Blast Paste and a Dylusions stencil I placed it randomly around the edges of the canvas and set aside to dry.

Using a wet wipe and some Inka gold Marsala I randomly rubbed some colour around the edges of the canvas.

I then added another layer around the edges using Dina Wakley's Printed Media Tape

Using Bo Bunny Glitter Paste Turquoise ( I LOVE THIS STUFF) I added some glittery magic in random sections of the Canvas.

Using Super Heavy gesso and some Colour Blast Shimmer Dust Candy and some Ken Oliver Color Burst Cadmium Scarlet I made my own colour texture paste using a stencil, again I randomly placed it around the canvas and set aside to dry.

ONCE ALL THESE LAYERS ARE DRY - ITS TIME FOR THE JUMBO RUBON

Place the rub-on on the canvas exactly where you want it and start gently rubbing the surface bit by bit slowly pulling the top film away to reveal the rub-on transfer adhered to your canvas.

Yes, I added yet another layer, some text was needed, so I have used some Tim Holtz Tissue paper and the Soft Gel to adhere random sections to the Canvas.

More Bo Bunny Paste (I told you I love it), I painted around the outside edges of the rub-on.

I have used the Mod Spiral Stencil and some Liquitex Black Lava to add even more dimension and colour to the canvas, using a heat gun to dry off and develop the beautiful Black Glitter paste.

More dimension around the canvas with the Whipped spackle, I love working with this as it's  so easy to use through a stencil.

Almost complete just needed to add my Journaling.......

So easy with the amazing Tim Holtz idea-ology foam stamps and some black paint. I stamped on some marshmallow cardstock, set aside to dry, and then cut each word out and adhered them around the hair and head of the gorgeous ru-bon.

I just love how my canvas has turned out.

I'm definitely hanging it in my scrappy space...

I hope you enjoyed the process.

See you all next week, be sure to keep popping in for all the awesome

Cute Kid - Emma's Version of the January Sketch

Hi everone,

Today on the ScrappingClearly blog I'm sharing my take on this months sketch

and showing some fun products and colours.

Here's the sketch, upload your version here.

To start my page I used modelling paste, and then had a play with a Colour Blast Shimmer pot in Envy,

these are sooooo fun. I also painted the wood veneer with this.

I added my favourite medium a Distress Oxide in Fossilized Amber over the top of the shimmer and paste.

Then, using a very cool new stamp, I added a few interesting layers with this,

and a couple of other stamps in my stash.

I painted my Heidi Swapp veneer and chipboard with the same mediums I used on my base.

Choosing some very awesome sheets from the Heidi Swapp September skies 6x6 range,

I created layers to follow the sketch of this month.

I have some of the Heidi Swapp Banners and was really unsure how to use them,

as I don't often use banners, so I decided to cut them up and use them like tags under my paper layers.

I also used a couple of the Heidi Swapp Star embellishments under my veneer to add more interest.

Finishing it all off like I usually do with my Liquitex ink in black flicked across my layout.

I hope you join us with our sketch this month,

you could grab yourself a very cool $30 prize.

Catch you all soon.
