My 'Butterfly Sunset' 10" x 12" Canvas.

Good evening Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Well, what sort of day have you had, a good one I hope.   I had a fairly productive day today, unlike the other day, when the  samples I was making just didn't seem to work out and ended up in the wastepaper bin lol!       Did the usual chores around the house then did some crafting (making samples for Imagination Craft's next shows on Hochanda, which will be coming up soon).   The next job was to help Hubby wheelbarrow the logs he sawed up earlier in the year and pass them to him to stack up the log bay.    These logs will not be used until the winter after this, as they need to dry out.   Then it was time to prepare our evening meal.

Tonight I am sharing another of my canvases made for Imagination's ODS shows on Hochanda T.V. at the end of May 2018.

   
Using the canvas in a landscape style, paint it using the yellow and fuschia Fabric Acrylic Paints.   When this is dry, stamp the stamp from the  'Rockfall' set, around all four edges of the canvas using a black ink pad.

 
Using the sun shape from the 'Create a Scene' stencil,  add the sun to the left of the canvas.   Add three birds to the top left, using the the same stencil and a black ink pad and a piece of cut 'n ' dry foam.

 
                                         Stamp the Irish Blessing on the right of the sun.

Cut out and feather the tall plant and the dandelion head from the rice paper and glue to the right-hand side of the canvas, using the decoupage glue.

  

 
Cut out and feather the black butterfly plus a little of the script from the rice paper.   Glue this to the canvas, putting the butterfly in the centre.

              
Lay the Folk Meadow Butterflies stencil onto the bottom edge of thr canvas and spreasd the Texture Paste over the design with the metal spatula.   When dry, repeat the process along the rest of the bottom edge.                                                      

                                                                                                                                                                                                        

                                                                                                                                                              

          

  

When dry,   lay the stencil back in position and, using a stencil brush, stipple some Rich Gold Starlight  Textile Paint over the Texture Paste design.   Repeat this until all the leaves and flowers along the bottom of the canvas, are covered.   Draw around the edges of the texture paste design using a black pen.

Roughly cut our the black butterfly from the second sheet of the same design rice paper and glue onto a piece of thin white card, using the decoupage glue.   When dry, fussy-cut out the butterfly, trimming away any excess white card.    Paint the edges of the wings and body with the rich gold textile paint.

3D the butterfly onto the original design, using silicone glue.   Add a little gold to the undersides of the birds.

Dot some of the textile rich gold paint on the dandelion and seed head.   Well that's it,  the canvas is now finished.   Hope you like it.   Thanks so much for all your comments and visits, they are all appreciated.   Enjoy the rest of your week and I will be back again soon, in the meantime,  enjoy the beautiful weather we are having.   See you all again soon.

                                                                 Love and rainbows,
