Hello, I thought I should pop in and let you know I have not given up on crafting, giggle! Life is so full and wonderful I just have not been in the craft room much and now of course, it needs cleaning before I can get crafty. Welllllll, I went to a crop and this is the first time eva that I started and finished a canvas or project for that matter. Yippy Skippy for me! I used all South Ridge Trading Company chipboard. Since the first thing I have thought of doing this spring is camping and fishing, I thought it fitting to enter the Spring Challenge at Southern Ridge Trading Company. Here is the layout, getting ready to get painted and inky!
I added the sun, grass, Sentiment, splotches and dragonfly by using stencils and gesso.
I painted the whole piece with gesso then added yellow gelato to the gesso and painted the sun and rays.
I added blue gelato to the gesso and voila!
I did the same with the rest of the piece by adding brown, green, then added white gelato mixed with water over the lettering. I rolled cotton gauze, added gesso then cut it to fit for the rope on the fence of the dock, hat band and chair. I added feathers to to the flies and wire for fishing line. I added clear crackle to give the dock and water some texture and shine, I used stickers to add the name above the Gone Fishing sign. My husband loved it and we plan to put it in the travel trailer. Thanx for stopping by.
This is such a gorgeous canvas, I love how you have done a tutorial - it really shows how you created the depth. Fantastic use of Southern Ridge chipboard, thanks for joining in the May challenge x
