Now on to the show!!
Please click each photo to see it a bit bigger.
I made a mixed media canvas to share today. The substrate is an upcycled dollar store MDF plaque.
A bit like Monique, who used clay to stamp into, I covered the base with DecoArt Modelling Paste. Once the surface was spongy, I was able to stamp into it with my Sin City Sugar Skull stamps.
Once totally dry, I started to layer up DecoArt Fluid Acrylics in many different colors. I edged the canvas with DecoArt Carbon Black and Prussian Blue. I also used Prussian Blue over some of the surface texture. The highlights are DecoArt Fluid Acrylic Gold.
The layering and dry brushing helps bring out all the fabulous texture!
The last step was to apply DecoArt Antiquing Cream to get the nice patina.
I stamped the Sugar Skull with Ranger Archival Ink onto Bristol Board. She is colored with various gel pens.
That's it from me!
I hope you enjoy this Hop!
