"Amaze" - a mixed media canvas with Astrid

Hello Shimmerz fans, thanks for dropping by. I am sharing a canvas with you today

This is one of those 5 x 7 canvas boards that I love turning into special cards with the help of a little stand on the back.
For the canvas itself, I used sprays only for a quick background.

From left to right: Vibez: Before Dawn, Coloringz: Chocolate Brownie, Spritz: Treasured Hymn, Vibez: Palm Reader and Spritz: Bamboo Leaf. All of them can of course be found in the Shimmerz Paint Store

I started by adhering some strips of paper and washi tape to my canvas and then went to work with the sprays, until I was happy with the result. Half way through I also added some bits of cheese cloth for a little more texture.

A little bit of background stamping added some further interest, I always think these kind of projects need some background stamping...

Time to create a focal point. I had wanted to add some leaves or something, but in the end landed up with a large flower, a stamp by Sheena Douglas.

The flower was coloured with the following paints:

Again from left to right: Inklingz : Meet me@Sunset, and Miner Miner and Shimmerz: Sunflower. The Inklings need to be activated with water, the Shimmerz is liquid already. Of course they are available in the Paint Store again.

A stamped sentiment was added still and a little easel stand fixed to the back and that was pretty much it.

Well, that's it for today, thanks for your visit like always. Don’t forget, if you mention my name in the "comments" section of your shopping cart when placing your Shimmerz order you will receive free paint. Shop Shimmerz HERE and connect with us on Facebook, too!
