Mini mixed media canvas with a tutorial.!

Hi everyone,
Riswana here today with a mini mixed canvas project & also a pictorial for the same.!

This canvas measures 3"×2.25". I love to work with small canvases & miniatures as it's very challenging to add details in such tiny spaces. So let's get on with the steps.!

Step 1 - Adding textures:
First let's add some texture to our canvas. Stick pieces of gauze cloth & tissue paper randomly & let it dry. (Don't forget the sides)

Step 2 - Stencilling
Add more texture by applying texture paste through a stencil.
I used Ranger texture paste & Prima Fading Floral stencil.

Step 3 - Priming with gesso
After the texture paste has dried completely, Coat the whole canvas with gesso.

Step 4: Adding colours
Now let's add some colours with Ink sprays. You can use any color sprays/mists for that matter.

Step 5: Bring out relief areas
Making sure to dry completely in between each step is the key here. So once the colors are dry, apply some gesso to bring out the relief areas. Use a completely dry brush/sponge or your fingers like I did.
Add some glitter if you wish to make the background more interesting. I used a tiny amount of Faber castell glass bead glitter gel.

Step 6: Embellishments
Make some embellishments to go with the background. I made two different blooms using the EK tools retro flower medium punch & peacock feathers distress inks.

To jazz them up a little, I added rhinestones & also Diamond dust. I stamped the flourishes from Mudra's fancy flourish stampset with green pigment ink.
Fussy cut it & added more dimension using an embossing tool.

Add a baker's twine to the metal plate charm. Also add some Inka Gold (aquamarine blue) to mute down the sheen a bit & give a worn look. Adhere the embellies the way you want and you are done.!!!

Supplies used:
Fading floral stencil
Gesso
ek tools retro flower medium punch
Peacock feathers Distress ink
Mudra Fancy Flourish stampset
Aleene's tacky glue
Mini glue gun
Twinklets diamond dust

Hope you liked my project & found the tutorial helpful.!
C ya all very soon.

Create. Have fun.

here it is!

Step by Step Pictorial

I prepared 2 (two) canvases size 20 cm x 30cm and 15cm x15cm

draw a line where you want to add the small canvass on top

Paint around with black gesso. Do the same with a small canvas on back

Create a bricks texture with modelling paste and a stencil

do the same as the previous one for the smaller canvas

Now stick the smaller canvas on the top of the bigger canvas with

a hot glue gun and spray with ink .

I used a mica powder at the edge and sprayed with a little water

inside the small canvas I covered with Texture paste

and added a cheese cloth as embellishment

I printed my sentiment and coloured it with distress ink ( evergreen bough )

after that I distressed my journaling with distress tool and fussy cut word by word

with a black sharpie pen I then went around the edges

I colored my title with inka gold in Copper Color

I colored the chippie bird cage with inka gold Gold Color

and I colored my resin with perfect pearls

also a charm and the door I coloured with Inka Gold in Ice Blue color

after I finished coloring all embellishment I decorated them on my canvas

after I fixed all things in the right composition I repainted again with inka gold

I thought I missed something ...yes a texture paste ! so I added a few at the corner and some place to give more texture

After I added some texture paste I colored with inka gold in Turquiz Gold

here is some closer

That's all from me, I hope I've inspired you to try out make something different

Mod Podge Photo Transfer on Canvas | Video

Hey, friends!

This is Jasleen here, back with a new project, unrelated to this month's challenge theme.

First of all, I would like to remind you all that it's Lulupu's 4th birthday this year and we are celebrating it throughout the month of March. There's an amazing giveaway and super fun games with exciting prizes. Are you playing along? If you haven't started yet, you can still catch up and read all the details HERE.

For our current birthday themed challenge, please click HERE.

Today, I'm sharing a canvas wall art that I made using Mod Podge Picture Transfer Medium . I decided to use a Laser printout of one of my favorite pictures of my daughter.

Mod Podge picture transfer medium, as the name suggests, is used for transferring any photo over canvas, wood, ceramic or fabric. But the photo needs to be a Laser printout or a photocopy. It gives amazing and predictable results/ The only thing you need to keep in mind is the time- it needs to be kept undisturbed for 24 hours after it's application to get desired results.

I made a short and quick start-to-end video for the same. I hope you find the video helpful.

You can also view this video on our YouTube channel HERE.

I hope you liked it. Let me know if you have any doubts.

Supplies from Lulupu store :

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day. :)

Mixed media tutorial

Hello friends!!!

Neha here, with another inspirational post for this month and today I am sharing a tutorial on mixed media with you all. Lulupu store has recently added lots of new yummy products be it pattern papers, stencils, mixed media stamps, die- cuts etc. Grab them before they get out of stock.

For today's post I have made a mixed media canvas based on this month's challenge theme (color palette and use of wings). The dress form die cut from Tim Holtz was lying with me from a long time and finally I decided to use it seeing this month's theme. Distressed its edges using DI worn lipstick and dressed it using laces. Wings are made with butterfly die cuts where two of them have been partially layered on each other. Colored them with DIs and added stickles glitter over them, The background was done using some homemade sprays and DIs (Peacock feathers and worn lipstick). I have used the new Prima stencils (Harlequin, Floral petites) and stamps, Heidi swapp mixed media stamps (Music notes, Script). Flowers are all handmade as I love making my own flowers, using different dies from Tim Holtz and Cherry lynn. Used stickles glitter over the flowers and wood veneers also.
Few close ups

Look at the texture and sparkle

Here is the step by step pictorial

1. Started with a chipboard and gessoed it twice.

2. Thereafter stated adding colors by using some homemade sprays in teal and pink color.Also splattered some color drops. Added some more color usig DIs (Peacock feathers and worn lipstick).

3. Did some stamping using Heidi Swapp mixed media stamps and archival jet black ink. These stamps are perfect for creating a mixed media background. I have also used finnabair's vintage vanity stamp at some places.

4. Added next layer with Ranger's texture paste and the new Prima Stencils. I just love these stencils. At some places I have used Holographic EP over the texture paste while it was still wet. The EP sticks to the wet texture paste and then set it with the heat tool. It gives a sparkling effect to the texture paste.

5. Next distressed the edges with the same DIs. Added some more color here and there till I was satisfied. Also used gelatos through stencil in few areas. And the background was ready! Added layers of thai paper in teal color and doily.

6. Now comes the embellishing part. Placed the dress form die cut over it and thereafter embellished with handmade flowers, pollens, charms, wood veneers etc.That's it.

I loved the way it turned out. What do you think? Do let me know. And Don't forget to play along our current challenge here!!!

Hugs!!
