Sneak Peek at my 'Lady & Dragonfly' 10" x 12" Canvas.

Good afternoon Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Today I would like to share a 'sneaky peek' at  one of my canvases, made for Imagination Craft's One Day Special shows on the Hochanda T.V. Channel being launched this Friday  31st. August 2018  at 6pm.    I do hope you can tune in this weekend, there will be lots of demos and some beautiful samples made by the Imagination Craft's design team.   All the Imagination Craft's products used in the making of my canvas can be purchased by clicking on this link   www.crafterscompanion.co.uk  then look under Brands and click on Imagination Crafts.


   
The canvas was sprayed with the navy blue, pink and white Fashion sprays and a spritz or two of water, followed by a small amount of the Shabby Chic Ashy Rose Relief paste painted onto it, mainly down the right-hand side.

The lady from the rice paper was added to the right-hand corner of the canvas using decoupage glue.

 
The spatula was used to spread the white structure paste and the Shabby Chic Relief pastes through various parts of the stencil, onto the canvas.    I painted over the surface of the dot design on the left side of the canvas with some White gold Starlight paint.





  
The dragonfly was made by spreading the Shabby Chic Relief Pastes through the  dragonfly from the stencil, onto some spare white card.

  
When it was dry, I cut it out and stamped the wings using the white gold Starlight paint, using the 'crackle' stamp from the Distress Stamp Set 1.    I then glued the dragonfly in position on the canvas.




The Art Cutz cogs were painted with Cafe' Creme Rusty Patina to add some texture, then when dry, they were painted with the Ashy Rose and Sage Relief pastes.

    
These were then given a light coat of the gold Starlight paint and glued to the top right and a small cog to the bottom left on top of the green dots.

  
I then die-cut 2 large, 4 medium and 8 small flowers, using the Crafter's Companion DS-E-Flow 3. flower dies, painted them with the Dried Rose Starlight Paint.   Small flowers were glued to the centres of the large and medium flowers.


They were then glued in position to the bottom right corner.   Seven leaves were die-cut using  C. C. die  DS-C-DF3DF and painted with the Green Starlight paint and glued in between the flowers.    I die-cut some flower centres  and painted them with the Sage Shabby Chic paste then   glued  them  to the flower centres.    One medium flower was added to the top left corner.

 
That's all from me for the moment my friends, please don't forget to tune in to the Hochanda T.V. this weekend,  the show times are :-    Fri. 31st. August  @ 6pm. & 8pm.     Sat. 1st. Sept. @  9am.  1pm. & 5pm.     I'm sure you won't be disappointed, especially if you like mixed media work.  

                                                                 Love and rainbows,

                                                                  Hugs   Jennifer xx.
