Hi All, Colleen McGinty here on Technique Tuesday with an idea for turning your favorite papers into works or art!
Are you like me and love all the beautiful scrapbook papers available and buy them for inspiration? With your own interpretation of the designs and your Faber-Castell art materials you can turn some of these beautiful inspiration papers into canvas art for your walls!
I used these Bo Bunny scrapbook papers as inspiration and recreated my own artwork on 8x10 thick wrapped canvases.
Design Memory Craft Materials:
- Stamper's Big Brush raw umber
- Stamper's Big Brush nougat
- Stamper's Big Brush colbalt turquoise
- Stamper's Big Brush cobalt green
- Pitt Artist Pen dark sepia
- Art GRIP colored pencil sets; yellow, green & blue palettes
- Metallic Gelatos green & blue
Other materials
- rubber stamps (un-mounted)
- embossing stamp pad
- white embossing powder
- silver glitter embossing powder
- black embossing powder
- mini crystal rhinestones
- artist canvases
- heat tool
- ruler
Mix the Gelato colors on a pallet with water, spread the color evenly over the surface of the canvas front and sides (let dry). Draw a few grid lines with your ruler and Art GRIP colored pencils.
Stamp your designs in a way that is pleasing to your eye. I like to use un-mounted rubber stamps on canvas, this way I can wrap them around the canvas sides, and press into the canvas firmly.
Use the embossing powders for the butterflies and a few scrolls around the edges for depth and interest.
Work back into your piece by darkening some of the scroll work with the tip of the brush pen and the colored pencils.
Accent with the glitter embossing powder and mini rhinestones.
