Hello all! Nicole here with you today!
As my first August DT reveal, I created this mixed media canvas that I hope you will like.
I started off with a black canvas and covered it with a thin coat of black gesso.
I then added some texture and design using the Dusty Attic Dragonflies stencil with some stencil paste and then I dabbed a bit of paint with a makeup foam to create a marble effect.
I used one of the new impact titles which I love – they are large and bold and come in different fonts. They do make an impact, thus the name chosen for them!
Below you see a Decorative Hinge #1 which I covered with black pearl and amber gold velvet paste.
I also did the same on the ‘everyday’ part of the title as well as the butterfly from the Flutterbies #1 set and the Mini Dragonflies.
Dusty Attic has a multitude of beautiful intricate frames to choose from. The ones that I used on my canvas are the Fancy Frames #8. I painted one in Faded Denim with some dabs of Lavender Blush, and the other one was painted with a mixture of Pesto and Crushed Olive. I then very lightly dabbed some white paint as well as amber gold paste on them, giving them a more distressed look.
All the flowers that I decorated my frame with are from the Dusty Attic Dusty in Bloom collection. I chose to go with the Grassy Knoll and Blue Bonnet sets which became the inspiration for my canvas colour palette. After the canvas complete, I misted the flowers with gold. I then sprayed the canvas with adhesive spray and sprinkled some Dress My Craft Crystal Clear Sequins, also available at the Dusty Attic website.
I really hope that you have enjoyed seeing my canvas and reading on my creative process as much as I enjoyed creating it myself. Playing with Dusty Attic chipboard pieces is definitely the best part of it!
Now, take a closer look at all the Dusty Attic products that I used.
