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

Design Team Posts throughout the week.

Friends Make the World Beautiful - A Layout by Kylie Tout

Morning Scrappingclearly friends - I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend....

My layout today is super bright and happy and truly depicts these two girls and their friendship!

This layout was based around a new paper range that Scrappingclearly has arriving soon to the website.

Paper Arts is designed in New Zealand, I really love this paper range.

Be sure to keep an eye out in the store.

I have used Whimsical 2, both sides are awesome I really wanted to use both sides......

To add more depth and dimension I used some prepared cardstock which I had sprayed with Dylusions and stencils. I cut a circle shape and added some Lipstick Colour Blast texture paste with a stencil to create a dimensional pattern and set aside to dry. Once dry I detailed around the edge with a Black Stabilo pencil 

      

I used surgical gauze sprayed with Postbox Red Dylusions Spray and set aside to dry.

Using Viva Inka Gold Copper and a sponge, I coated a chipboard element.

A TIP when using the Inka Gold Copper Rub - just remove a small amount with a clean cloth, not your finger, so that you aren't introducing any bacteria.

There is not a lot of preparation in this layout with the background paper being already so arty.... so the next thing is to start layering the layout.

I adhered a piece of old book paper, with green paint which has been watered down, to the background paper.

Next is the previously made circle, with texture paste and the Surgical Gauze.

Then the photo on top of all layers.

            

Once all layers were down I embellished with Enamel Dots and a metal butterfly, along with some Tim Holtz small talk stickers and the Copper Coated Chipboard embellishment.

Of course the last detail was to journal, which I have completed with, of course, a Black FudeBall pen.

I hope you have enjoyed this layout.....I am busting to have these papers available so keep an eye on the shop.
