My Orchids Canvas.

Hi there Fellow Bloggers, Friends and Visitors,

Thank you so much for your kind comments on my last project, much appreciated.   Tonight I would like to share a canvas I made for  the Imagination Craft's shows on the Hochanda T.V. Channel last November.   For this canvas I have used one of their very pretty Rice paper designs.

   
Using the decoupage glue, fix the rice paper sheet to the canvas, sanding any excess rice paper away from the edges using a sanding block.

Spray the canvas with the yellow and brown mixed media spray inks, keeping the centre mainly yellow and the brown around the edges.

    
When dry, lay the large Art stencil MA-24 onto the canvas and stipple some rich gold Starlight paint through the design on all four corners and a little on the edges, using a stencil brush.

Take the second piece of rice paper (exactly the same design) and glue onto a piece of white card, using the decoupage glue.   When dry, cut out the stems, leaves and flowers and glue them to the original image on the canvas, using Magi-bond glue, adding  silicone glue under some petals.   Cover the flowers with some watered down gold Starlight paint.

    
When that is dry, lay the small circles stencil on the top left and add some white structure paste through the design using a metal spatula.   Repeat again but this time, in the bottom right corner.   Remove the stencil and leave the images to dry.

     
When dry, add a small amount of the festive berries Distress Ink to the circles and a thin layer of watered down gold Starlight paint.   This just tones down the white of the  structure paste and also blends with the colour of the orchids, bringing the design together.

    
Die-cut the letters 'O R C H I D'     and  'B L O O M'   from black card, using a set of alphabet dies by X-Cut.   Glue 'ORCHIDS' down the left-hand side of the canvas.

  
                               Glue the word BLOOM down the right - hand side of the canvas.

Well that's this canvas finished, I was quietly pleased with the end result and I hope you like it too.  Thanks for stopping by my blog, I will be back soon.

                                                                Love and rainbows,

                                                   Happy Crafting,  Hugs   Jennifer xx
