Decorated Canvas

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a canvas that I have decorated using goodies from my stash.

To begin, I used a palette knife to spread the three colours (lychee, orange and violet) Isink acrylic paints in different directions on the canvas.

Next I blended black soot distress oxide through the boxed in stencil from Dolly Dimples.

I then blended the same ink through the Moroccan Trellis stencil from Dolly Dimples. 

I then blended black soot distress oxide around the edges of the canvas.

I covered the wooden heart with old music manuscript and edged it with the same black ink.

I wrapped the heart with some orange and gold string.

I used matte medium to adhere two pieces of cheese cloth to the canvas.

I then used a large dollop of matte medium to adhere the heart to the canvas. I left this to dry for about 1 hour before doing any more to it.

I chose two ready made flowers from my stash and edged them with carved pumpkin distress oxide.

I die cut some leaves and then added them and the flowers to the canvas using matte medium. 

Finally I stamped one of the sentiments from Bee Crafty's Incredible Words. I cut it out following the contours of the words and then blended black soot distress oxide around the edges before adding it to the canvas.

Here's another look at the finished canvas.
