I decided to
have a bit of fun with the April Mediums Add-On from Swirlydoos.
I dug into my
stash and pulled out a 6" x 12" canvas, a couple of heart stencils
and a jar of heavy gesso.
The heart from
the Main Kit was covered with the same Memory Box stencil that I used on the
sides. I wanted something bigger and bolder on the front and my Heidi Swapp
stencil was perfect.
Once the gesso
was completely dry, I went over the entire canvas with Prima Sparks paint; I
deliberately did not stir the paint so that I could get a variegated look.
Next, I used the Adirondack dabber to color
all of the hearts - the wood heart and the stenciled images. (I simply dabbed a
bit on my craft mat and applied the paint with a brush on the canvas.)
The sides were
given a very light swipe of Finnabair Metallique Wax to tone them down.
After adhering
the wood heart with matte gel and tying twine from the Project Kit around the
canvas, I started misting with the Art Anthology spray, then water to create
dripping streaks here and there, using my heat tool between applications.
I added a few
blooms from the Flower Add-On, then some of the glass beads, which I colored
with more of the Art Anthology mist.
Time for some
splats - first with the mist, then with watered down gesso.
To finish my
canvas, I selected a few Quote Chips that I colored with one of the fabulous
Finnabair Metallique Waxes.
