Floral canvas

This month at Altered Pages the theme is flowers.  I created this home décor 8 x 8 floral canvas.  What a cherished gift for a friend, sister, mother, aunt or it may look perfect on the wall in your own home! 

Using the gorgeous printable florals and teacups images from Altered pages, so beautifully vintage. I chose pink and gold as my colour  base.  I began by using White Gesso to prime, let dry. With gel medium I added vintage text papers, also scraps of papers from my stash (waste not want not!) Let the canvas dry.
 
I painted the canvas with pale pinks and white acrylic paints.   Then collage the fussy cut images with a gel medium, set aside to dry.  With various pens I enhanced colours, details and shadows. Finally, I painted the border in a metallic gold (you can not tell its metallic in the image).  As an option you could use Gold Gilded Leafing for the border.
 
I hope you will pop by Altered Pages and see all the fabulous products they have plus all the great stuff happening on the blog.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
