Soul Protection canvas

hello everyone!

i am here today to share with you a canvas i created using the Ken Oliver Color Burst brights and earth tones and some Pegz!!

close up soul protectionso this process was a lengthy one but only because i would start one idea and then get prompted to try something else and then something else until i arrived at a completed canvas. so here it goes

first i started by putting some clear gesso on my canvas and followed that with a mixture of the warm color burst colours followed by some of the cool ones

next i had added some crackle paste which had dried up but i figured i could just add some water and spread it out over my canvas…it didn’t work so i scraped it all off and love the effect below.. then it was time to decide what i wanted this canvas to say so i add a bit of paint to it and then stayed the down downey stamp using water so i could see the placement prior to actually stamping itcolorburst canvas steps5to8but in doing this i decided that it might be cool to leave just that flower colours the same and paint the rest of the canvas and that is when i realized i needed to add more color burst to the floral area.adding a stamp

but i decided that i needed to ensure the floral area stay true to colour so i use some clear embossing ink and stamped onto my canvas and quickly covered it with some Emerald Creek clear embossing powder. then it was time to  blocked out the rest of the canvas using deco art in yesteryear.adding some paintnow because i really wanted my flowers to be a focal point i then covered the flowers, stems and leaves using liquid glassdeco art liquid glass

then i kind of went a little crazy with stamping and embossing a border and some butterflies using either a clear or black embossing powder.

i also added some click it ink to various places around my canvas

now how cool is that background and doesn’t it just scream mystical whimsical protection to you!! it sure did to me!!
