Challenge 25 Creative Artiste DT post

Hello Crafty Friends and Followers

It is that time again ...

Challenge 25 for

Creative Artiste Mixed Media

Our Awesome sponsor this month is

and they have kindly donated a box of goodies similar to this.

Garden of love

Well, 2017 is in full swing and these challenges are enticing

the creativeness from within.

As a result I have a layout and a canvas to share with you all.

Being Autumn here and Spring in the north what better

theme to follow than something with flowers.

The "Garden of Love"

Dropping some texture onto the canvas is always a great place to start

and the creation of a wall for the background using the Bricks stencil

was a perfect match for what I envisaged.

Usually I would use modelling paste but I recently acquired some

Deco Art products and among the goodness was some

white crackle paste and what better to try it on than some bricks.

The background colour was created by adding Deco Art's

Media Shimmer Mister to the crackle paste.

Additional colours from the same products were added by mixing

the primaries to get the shades of green.

 

The central piece was constructed from various layers of distressed

patterned papers, cardstock, calico and muslin.

Atop this I placed a Large Ornate Frame to showcase the flowers

that were to be the focal point.

The Ornate Frame was embossed to give an aged look as were

the butterflies, central flowers, leaves and hearts.

Using the same product on all of these chipboards created both

texture and colour to deliver unity across the canvas.

Little clusters of flowers were distributed, some plain and some sprayed

to compliment the other layers.

The old metal heart along with the numerous smaller chipboard hearts

brings both garden and love together.
